In class today we open the awareness to our speech - both internal & outwardly projecting .... the power of using this practical logic allows us to be more intentional & come from our visceral (heart) rather than our reactive (egoic) head .... this stops us being in “protective ego” mode creating conscious conversations that result in spiritual growth for the individual & the collective soul 🌈🙏🏽💓 . . . #consciousconversation #directspeech #livingphilosophy #nattyism #sufiwisdom #sharethewealth #nature #learnlanguage #liferefinementtherapies #joyjunkie (at Motivational speech) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfdG11gdCy/?igshid=unz4y0n0tgve

‘Well, do you??’

‘Do I what?’

‘Want this, want us?’

‘I don’t know! I didn’t ask for this!’

‘Oh for the love of-’

‘What I mean is, I didn’t see you coming’

‘What is this, a John Green book?’

‘No, it’s an Alanis Morisette song’

‘Oh god, this is tough, huh?’

‘We’re teenagers, man, this shouldn’t be so serious’

"It's back" "Oh come on! You were literally just all empowered and happy and cute" "Yeah but......" "I know" "I can't even talk about it. I don't want to be just another sad thing" "Donuts?" "Ooh, yes. But no. I'm not lettings extra calories in" "What the actual fuck" So I just publicly embarrassed myself, and I realised that my inner insecure 13 year old still exists. ~ ~ #spilledink #storyteller #storytellersofinstagram #directspeech #narrativewriting #confessionalart #artsfartsy #sunset #dusk (at Kingston upon Hull) https://www.instagram.com/p/BozRXbUAkZo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kgin7pdklyl4

Direct Speech

In a direct quotation, we give the words of the speaker exctly as he has spoken them.

 John said, " I am going away on Wednesday"

When we wish to report someone's words indirectly, we must change all pronouns to agree with the new sentences. If to say is in the past tense, we must follow the usual sequence of tenses. 

John said the he was going away on Wednesday.
