step-by-step-explanation-of-how-a-direct-speech-sentence-becomes-indirect-speech 1

Here is the step-by-step explanation of how the sentence is changed into Indirect Speech.

Indirect Sentence:
Rahul told me that he had usually left home by 7:30 in the morning.
राहुलने मला सांगितले की तो सामान्यतः सकाळी साडेसात वाजता घरातून निघायचा.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Direct Speech (मूळ वाक्य):
Rahul said to me, "I usually leave home by 7:30 in the morning."
राहुलने मला सांगितले, "मी सामान्यतः सकाळी साडेसात वाजता घरातून निघतो."

2. Reporting Verb Change (अहवाल देणाऱ्या क्रियापदात बदल):
• said to me → told me
• "said to" चे "told" मध्ये रूपांतर होते.
Example: Rahul said to me → Rahul told me
राहुलने मला सांगितले

3. Adding ‘that’ (that हा जोडशब्द वापरणे):
• कोटेशन मार्क्स (" ") काढून त्याऐवजी that जोडतो.
Example: "I leave..." → that he left...

4. Pronoun Change (सर्वनामात बदल):
• "I" (Rahul is speaking) → "he"
• I मी→ he तो

5. Tense Change (काळ बदलणे):
• leave (present simple) → had left (past perfect)
• कारण reporting verb told हे past tense मध्ये आहे.
• Habitual action before a past point of time म्हणून past perfect वापरतो.
• मराठीत "निघायचा" हे भूतकाळातली सवय दर्शवणारे रूप आहे.

6. Final Sentence:
Rahul told me that he had usually left home by 7:30 in the morning.
राहुलने मला सांगितले की तो सामान्यतः सकाळी साडेसात वाजता घरातून निघायचा.
