পরীক্ষার্থী বন্ধুরা, ইংরেজি দ্বিতীয় পত্রে A+ পেতে Grammar আয়ত্ত্ব করে উপযুক্ত অনুশীলন করার কোনো বিকল্প নেই। এবার আমরা Speech / Narration অধ্যায়টি ধাপে ধাপে উদাহরণসহ বিস্তারিত শিখবো।

Definition: What the speaker directly or indirectly says is called narration or speech. We can express our speech in different ways. It can be expressed directly through the speaker’s mouth and indirectly through the mouth of others. For an example—-

Sathi said to me, “I will go to Japan.”

Sathi told me that she would go to Japan.

The first example is of direct process of expressing speech and the second one is of indirect process of expressing speech.

Kinds of Speech: The speech expressed by speakers are of two types. They are—-

Direct speech

Indirect speech

We will see two examples—-

Sampa said to Sathi, “I will go to India.”

Sampa told Sathi that she would go to India.

In the first example, the speaker expresses her idea directly in her own speech and so it is direct speech where as in the second example, the speaker’s idea has been expressed indirectly in the speech of other speaker and so it is indirect speech.
