The document discusses the differences between direct and indirect speech. It explains that direct speech uses quotation marks and maintains the same verb tenses, while indirect speech does not use quotation marks and usually changes pronouns and verb tenses. The document also provides examples of converting direct speech to indirect speech by changing pronouns like "I" to "he" and changing verb tenses like "go" to "went".

Direct and Indirect Speech
By the end of the lesson I will: Understand the difference between direct and indirect speech. Be able to apply this knowledge in my writing. Accurately punctuate direct and indirect speech Know when and how to change pronouns and verb tenses in indirect speech.
Direct speech When we use direct speech in our writing: The exact words spoken must be put inside speech marks. The first spoken word must have a capital letter. When a new speaker begins, we must start a new line.
