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."

They will cost three thousand taka."

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.

Giving him a glare, the traffic sergeant replied that he(R) had been driving too fast.

(Direct) Being surprised he asked me if I had done it. (Indirect)
