We use it to report what people say, think, or feel. For instance, \u201cI am going to the park,\u201d she said, when converted to reported speech, will be written as <em>\u201cShe said that she was going to the park.\u201d <\/em>If you want to learn more about reported speech, some of its basic rules for Class 7, and finally some exercises on it to test yourself, you have come to the right page. Keep reading this blog for more information.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"types-of-reported-speech\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Reported Speech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the different types of reported speech is essential for converting sentences correctly. Each type follows a specific structure and uses different reporting verbs, which helps in maintaining the meaning and tone of the original sentence. Learning these types will make it easier to solve exam questions and avoid common errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-statements-assertive-sentences\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Statements (Assertive Sentences)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Statements are used to report general information, opinions, or facts. In indirect speech, they usually follow a simple structure where the reporting verb is followed by \u201cthat\u201d, and the sentence is changed according to tense and pronoun rules. There is no question format or command involved, making them the easiest type to convert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Direct: She said, \u201cI am learning English.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indirect: She said that she was learning English.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-questions-interrogative-sentences\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Questions (Interrogative Sentences)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Interrogative sentences are used to ask questions. While converting them into indirect speech, the sentence structure changes from a question to a statement, and a reporting verb like \u201casked\u201d is used. Words like \u201cif\u201d or \u201cwhether\u201d are used for yes\/no questions, while question words like <em>\u201cwhat\u201d, \u201cwhere\u201d, and \u201cwhy\u201d<\/em> are retained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Direct: He said, \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indirect: He asked where I was going.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-commands-imperative-sentences\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Commands (Imperative Sentences)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imperative sentences express orders, requests, advice, or instructions. In indirect speech, these sentences use reporting verbs such as \u201ctold\u201d, \u201cordered\u201d, \u201crequested\u201d, or \u201cadvised\u201d, followed by \u201cto + verb\u201d. The tone of the sentence (order or request) determines the reporting verb used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Direct: The teacher said, \u201cComplete your homework.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indirect: The teacher told us to complete our homework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-exclamations-exclamatory-sentences\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Exclamations (Exclamatory Sentences)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exclamatory sentences express strong emotions such as happiness, surprise, sadness, or anger. While converting them into indirect speech, reporting verbs like \u201cexclaimed\u201d, \u201csaid with joy\u201d, or \u201csaid with sorrow\u201d are used, and the sentence is changed into a statement while preserving the emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Direct: She said, \u201cWhat a beautiful day!\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indirect: She exclaimed that it was a very beautiful day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/direct-indirect-speech-questions\/\"><strong>Direct And Indirect Speech Questions<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"difficulty-based-reported-speech-exercises\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difficulty-Based Reported Speech Exercises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you master reported speech step by step, we\u2019ve divided the exercises into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

Take a look at the following rules for a better understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When speaking, one must always employ a reporting verb, like \u201csaid\u201d, \u201casked\u201d, \u201ctold\u201d, or \u201creminded\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In reported speech, the original tense is typically changed. Saying \u201cI am going\u201d turns into saying \u201cshe said that she was going.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depending on who is speaking and who is being addressed, pronouns may vary in reported speech.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is possible for reported speech to employ modal verbs like \u201ccould\u201d, \u201cshould\u201d, or \u201cwould\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In reported speech, punctuation is crucial, particularly when utilising quotation marks. Periods and commas must be included inside quotation marks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/direct-and-indirect-speech-exercises-with-answers-for-class-12\/\"><strong>Direct and Indirect Speech Exercises With Answers for Class 12<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reported-speech-exercises-for-class-7-with-answers\"><span id=\"reported-speech-exercises-for-class-7-with-answers\">Reported Speech Exercises for Class 7 with Answers<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you are clear about the basics of reported speech and how to create sentences, we have compiled a few exercises on reported speech for Class 7 students.
