Lets see some rules to change passage narration Rule-01: Read the passage narration from first to last and try to find out the speakers and the listeners. You have to differentiate each speech and its speaker. You may not get the name of speaker in each speech. But observing the context of speeches, you have to mark that. Example: Where do you like to go, sir?" asked the ticket seller. Cox'sBazar, replied the stranger. "How many tickets do you need? I will buy five tickets. Take these tickets. They will cost three thousand taka."
Lets see some rules to change passage narration Rule-02: You have to write the name of speaker and listener of each speech before the speech during changing. You may not get the name with each sentence and you may get the name of speaker at first or last. But during the changing into indirect, you have to put the name of speaker and listener at first. Example: Where do you like to go, sir?" asked the ticket seller. Cox'sBazar, replied the stranger. "How many tickets do you need? I will buy five tickets. Take these tickets. They will cost three thousand taka."
Lets see some rules to change passage narration Rule-03: After identifying the speaker and the listener, you have to determine the mood of the verb in their speeches. Example: Where do you like to go, sir?" asked the ticket seller. Cox'sBazar, replied the stranger. "How many tickets do you need? I will buy five tickets. Take these tickets. They will cost three thousand taka."
Lets see some rules to change passage narration Rule-04: In passage, if there are two or more sentences of the same speaker together, you have to use - and also/ again/ further/ furthermore etc. Example: Where do you like to go, sir?" asked the ticket seller. Cox'sBazar, replied the stranger. "How many tickets do you need? I will buy five tickets. Take these tickets. They will cost three thousand taka."
Lets see some rules to change passage narration Rule-05: There are some certain words or phrases in direct speeches which will be changed in indirect speeches. These are given in my last class. Example: Yes will be replaced by replied in the affirmative.
Lets see some rules to change passage narration Rule-06: If there is any phrase out of inverted commas ( ), you will not change it. You will rewrite the same form of phrase at the beginning of the reporting verb of indirect speech. Example: "Why did you stop me?" asked Riyad. "You were driving too fast," said the traffic sergeant, giving him a glare. Riyad asked the traffic sergeant why he (S) had stopped him. Giving him a glare, the traffic sergeant replied that he(R) had been driving too fast.
Lets see some rules to change passage narration Rule-07: Instead of said, If reported speech has asked/ cried/replied/muttered etc., the reporting verb in the indirect speech will be unchanged. Example: Help me. He cried. (Direct) He cried to help him. (Indirect)
Lets see some rules to change passage narration Rule-08: When reported speech has a note of interrogation (?) after an assertive sentence, the indirect speech will use beingsurprised before the reporting verb. Besides, you have to transform the direct speech into indirect following the structure of interrogative sentence. Example: He said to me, You did it? (Direct) Being surprised he asked me if I had done it. (Indirect)
Why are you loitering here and there now? Are you in trouble?" said the school teacher. "I am loitering because I have none to take care me," said the boy. The school teacher said, "Do you feel hungry? "Yes. I am very hungry now," said the boy. The school teacher asked the boy why he (b) was loitering here and there then and also asked if he (b) was in trouble. The boy replied that he (b) was loitering because he (b) had none to take care him (b). The teacher again asked if he (b) felt hungry. The boy replied in the affirmative and also told that he (b) was very hungry then.
