How indirect speech is changed to direct speech is broadly discussed below.

When indirect speech is changed to direct speech, the following rules of tense are followed.

1. Indirect speech-কে direct speech-এ পরিণত করার সময় যদি reporting verb, present বা future tense-এ থাকে তবে reporting speech-এর verb-এর কোন পরিবর্তন হয় না।

During changing indirect speech into direct speech, if the reporting verb is in the present or future tenses, there is no change in the tense of the verb in the reporting speech.

Example:

  • He says, “You love cats.” (Direct)
