Direct and Indirect speech mcqs set 1. Direct and indirect speech are two ways in English language grammar to convey the message. These two ways are direct and indirect speech.
Saying exactly what someone has said is called direct speech (sometimes called quoted speech). The spoken words appear within quotation marks ("..."). For example:
She says, "I am a little bit nervous."
She says that she is a little bit nervous.
In the first sentence, the person conveys the message of the girl using her actual words, "I am a little bit nervous."
In the second sentence, the person conveys her message but in his own words without any change in the meaning. Thus, both direct and indirect speeches are two different ways of reporting a statement of a person.
Direct and Indirect speech MCQs are the compulsory part of the any NTS, PPSC, CSS, FPSC job test. In the test English MCQs section there are 3-5 direct indirect speech MCQs. These MCQs should prepare before appearing in any job test. According to the need of preparation, we start the direct and indirect MCQs series in which we also describe the direct and indirect speech rules of how to solve the particular direct indirect MCQ.
Rule
The following MCQs are the same pattern MCQs which obeys the same rule. The rule is, If the reporting verb is in present or future (i.e say, says or will say) then don’t change the tense that you can find within the quotation marks. For example:
Direct: I will say, "He loves his mom."
Indirect: I will say that he loves his mom.
