Lesson 50: Narration – Tense Change Rules — English Practice

Grammar Rules — Direct & Indirect Speech

If the Reporting Verb is in Past Tense, the tenses in the Reported Speech change accordingly: Present Simple -> Past Simple; Present Continuous -> Past Continuous.

Present Perfect changes to Past Perfect. Past Simple (V2) changes to Past Perfect (had + V3) (वर्तमान काल के वाक्यों को क्रमशः भूतकाल के वाक्यों में बदलें।).

Exceptions: If the reported speech is a universal truth, habitual fact, or science fact, the tense does not change even if the reporting verb is past. e.g., He said, "The earth is round" -> He said that the earth is round.

Practice Examples — वाक्य संरचना उदाहरण

▶

He said, "I eat an apple." (Direct) | He said that he ate an apple. (Indirect - Simple Present changes to Simple Past)

▶

She said, "I have finished my work." | She said that she had finished her work. (Present Perfect -> Past Perfect)

▶

My father said, "Water boils at 100 degrees." | My father said that water boils at 100 degrees. (Universal/science fact -> no tense change)
