Direct vs Indirect Speech — Transform It

The most demanding exercise in this group: students rewrite indirect (reported) speech as direct speech — changing the words, punctuation, and tense while keeping the meaning. This reverse transformation proves deep understanding. A sentence like 'She said she was hungry' becomes 'She said, "I am hungry."'

Key Concepts

Rewrite each sentence as direct speech. Add quotation marks and change the words as needed.
