Greetings, grammar enthusiasts! Today, we’re mastering the art of reported speech, also known as indirect speech or speech reporting. This linguistic technique allows us to convey what someone else has said without quoting their exact words. Let’s delve into this technique with some examples:

• Direct Speech: She said, “I am going to the party.”
• Reported Speech: She said that she was going to the party.
•  

In reported speech, we often change the verb tense and pronouns to match the perspective of the reporting speaker. So, next time you’re recounting a conversation, remember to wield the power of reported speech to convey the message accurately and effectively!
