Assertive Sentence
Rule 1: If the Reported Speech is Universal Truth / Scientific Truth / Natural Truth / Habitual Truth / Factual Truth, we don’t make any change in the Reported Speech rather we change the person only.
The teacher said, “God is one.”
The teacher said that God is one. (Universal Truth)
He said, “Fire burns.”
He said that fire burns. (Scientific Truth)
Nancy said, “It is hot in the summer.”
Nancy said that it is hot in the summer. (Natural Truth)
The teacher said, “Physical exercise is good for health.”
The teacher said that physical exercise is good for health. (Habitual Truth)
Mamun said, “Farah is my cousin.”
Mamun said that Farah is his cousin. (Factual Truth)
Rule 2: If the Reporting Verb is in the Present Tense / the Future Tense / the Present
Perfect Tense, they don’t undergo any change.
Borney says or will say, “I am right.”
Borney says or will say that she is right.
Kona has said to me, “I have just taken my breakfast.” (First Person)
Kona has told me that she has just taken her breakfast. (Here we changed the persons only.)
He said to me, “You are a liar.” (Second Person)
He told me that I was a liar.
Note: ‘Said to’ is changed into ‘told’ but ‘said’ remains unchanged.
Note: ‘First Person’ in the Reported Speech indicates the ‘Subject’ of the
Reporting Verb and the ‘Second Person’ in the Reported Speech indicates the ‘Object 'of
the Reporting Verb.
Rule 3: Sometimes, introductory portion of the Reported Speech may remain absent. In such a situation, we should guess the possible speaker.
“I shall do my duty.”
He says or will say that he will do his duty.
He said that he would do his duty.
Note: ‘Reporting Verb’ is not always more than one.
Note: Subjective Case converted into Subjective Case, Possessive Case changed into Possessive One and Objective Case transformed into Objective One.
Rule 4: Sometimes, the Reporting Verb is mentioned after the Reported Speech and it is
possible.
“I am happy now.” – said Nancy.
Nancy said that she was happy then.
Note: When we change any Direct Speech into Indirect Speech, it
becomes an Assertive Sentence. No matter, whether it is an Assertive Sentence or
Optative Sentence or Imperative Sentence or Exclamatory Sentence or Interrogative
Sentence.
Rule 5: ‘Yes’ – replied in the affirmative, ‘No’- replied in the negative, ‘Please’ - kindly
and ‘Sir’ / ‘Madam’ – politely / respectfully / with respect.
The student said to me, “I am sorry, Sir.”
The student told me politely that he was sorry.
“Yes, sir,” the student replied. I have done my duty.”
The student respectfully replied in the affirmative that he had done his duty.
The students said to the teacher, “Please, explain the matter again, Sir.”
The students requested the teacher politely to explain the matter again.
