What is Direct Speech?
Definition (English)
Direct Speech is the exact words of the speaker written within quotation marks.
বাংলা সংজ্ঞা
বক্তার কথাকে হুবহু উদ্ধৃতি চিহ্ন (" ") ব্যবহার করে প্রকাশ করলে তাকে Direct Speech বলে।
Examples
Rahim said, "I am happy."
The teacher said, "Work hard."
Mother said, "Do your homework."
What is Indirect Speech?
Definition (English)
Indirect Speech reports the speaker's words without using the exact quotation marks.
বাংলা সংজ্ঞা
বক্তার কথাকে উদ্ধৃতি চিহ্ন ছাড়া নিজের ভাষায় প্রকাশ করলে তাকে Indirect Speech বলে।
Examples
Rahim said that he was happy.
The teacher advised the students to work hard.
Mother told me to do my homework.
Parts of Narration
Narration-এর প্রধান দুটি অংশ রয়েছে।
1. Reporting Speech
যে অংশে বলা হয় কে কথা বলেছে।
Example
Rahim said,
2. Reported Speech
যে অংশে আসল কথাটি থাকে।
Example
"I am happy."
Basic Structure
Direct Speech
Reporting Speech + Comma + "Reported Speech"
Example
She said, "I know the answer."
Indirect Speech
Reporting Speech + that + Reported Speech
Example

Rule–1: Remove Inverted Commas
Indirect Speech-এ পরিবর্তন করার সময় Quotation Marks (" ") তুলে দিতে হবে।
Direct
He said, "I am tired."

Statement Sentence-এ সাধারণত that ব্যবহৃত হয়।
Examples

Rahim said that it was raining.
Note: আধুনিক ইংরেজিতে অনেক সময় that বাদও দেওয়া যায়।
Rule–3: Reporting Verb
সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ অংশ।
যদি Reporting Verb Present বা Future Tense-এ থাকে, তাহলে সাধারণত Reported Speech-এর Tense পরিবর্তন হয় না।
Examples
He says, "I am ready."
↓
He says that he is ready.
She will say, "I know him."
↓
She will say that she knows him.
Rule–4: Backshift of Tense
যদি Reporting Verb Past Tense-এ থাকে, তাহলে সাধারণত Reported Speech-এর Tense এক ধাপ পিছিয়ে যায়।
