MP Board Class 12th Special English Grammar Narration
किसी व्यक्ति की कही हुई बात को हम दो प्रकार से लिखते हैं :
1. कहने वाले के मूल शब्दों में लिखना। इसे Direct Speech कहते हैं। ये शब्द सदैव Inverted Commas “…” में बन्द रहते हैं।
जैसे-
Ram says, “I am going.”
2. कहने वाले की बात को अपने शब्दों में लिखना। इसे Indirect Speech कहते हैं। इसमें Reporting verb का Comma तथा Inverted Commas “…” का लोप कर दिया जाता है।
जैसे-
Ram syas that he is going.
Two Parts of Direct Speeches
1. Inverted commas से पूर्व वाला भाग जिससे वाक्य को आरम्भ करते हैं, इसे Reporting verb कहते हैं। जैसे उपर्युक्त उदाहरण में Ram says Reporting verb हैं।
2. Inverted Commas के अन्दर लिखा हुआ कथन Reported Speech कहलाता है। जैसे उपर्युक्त भाग में “I am going” Reported Speech हैं। Direct से Indirect बनाते समय Personal Pronouns का परिवर्तन :
नियम-Reported Speech में प्रयोग किए गए First Person-I, my, me, we, us, our Pronouns hat Reporting Verb में Subject Person के अनुसार बदल दते हैं। जैसे
Direct : The teacher says, ” I am writing a letter.”
Indirect : The teacher says that he is writing a letter.
उपर्युक्त वाक्य में वक्ता teacher है, जिसने अपने लिए ‘I’ का प्रयोग किया है। Indirect Speech में teacher के third Person के अनुसार subject बदल कर he हो गया है।
नियम-Reported Speech के Second Person के Pronouns-You, Your, Reporting Verb के Object के Person के अनुसार बदल जाते हैं
जैसे-
Direct : You said to me, “You are an honest man.”
Indirect : You told me that I was an honest man.
Direct : He said to him, “You have helped me.
Indirect : He told him that he had helped him.”
Direct : He said, “You never Helped me.”
Indirect : He said that he never helped him.
Direct : I said to you, “You are ill.”
Indirect : I told you that you were ill.
Direct : I said to him, “You killed a snake.”
Indirect : I told him that he had killed a snake.
Rule.
Indirect Speech में बदलते समय Third Person के Pronouns में कोई परिवर्तन नहीं होता। जैसे-
Direct : he said, “He will go there.”
Indirect : He said that he would go there.
Direct : He said, ” They will go there.”
Indirect : He said that they would go there.
