The Direct and Indirect Speech Quiz is designed to test your understanding of how to properly convert direct speech into indirect speech and vice versa. In English grammar, mastering both forms is crucial for clear and effective communication. Direct speech involves quoting someone's exact words, while indirect speech involves paraphrasing what was said.
By the end, you will be more confident in identifying the correct usage of punctuation, pronouns, and verb tenses when changing from one form to another. If you are a student looking to improve your grammar skills or simply aiming to refine your language abilities, this reported speech quiz offers an effective way to strengthen your knowledge of direct and indirect speech.
