Direct and Indirect Speech Worksheets | Reported Speech | Grammar | Activities

This resource includes 8 carefully designed worksheets that help students master the difference between direct and indirect (reported) speech through clear tasks, varied examples, and structured practice. Each worksheet focuses on a specific skill—such as reporting statements, questions, commands, requests, modal verbs, dialogues, and pronoun/time changes—ensuring students build confidence step by step.

Learners will work with statements, yes/no questions, WH-questions, commands, requests, modal verbs, and mixed items in both directions:
✔ Direct ➝ Indirect
✔ Indirect ➝ Direct

Every worksheet includes a targeted task and 7 practice sentences, allowing students to apply the rules immediately and meaningfully. The activities support grammar development, writing clarity, and accurate use of reported speech in real-life communication.

These worksheets are ideal for:
• Classroom instruction
• Homework practice
• Test preparation
• ESL/EFL grammar lessons
• Literacy centers
• Sub plans

By the end of the unit, students will confidently transform direct speech into indirect speech and rewrite indirect statements back into direct quotations. The variety of sentence types ensures strong grammatical foundations and deep understanding.
