his mother says,"speaks the truth". ( change into indirect speech)

Answers 2

His mother preaches to speak the truth.

Explanation:

Indirect speech is the form of sentence where the context of the sentence is conveyed in reported speech.
Direct speech uses inverted comas to deliver the meaning using the exact same words that were used by the persons present during the conversations.
The sentence canveys that the mother asks people to speak the truth.
Therefore, when the sentence is converted into indirect form the word says is replaced with preaches. Preach in this context means to promote and ask people to abide by something.

Ans: His mother tells him to speak the truth.

Explanation:

Indirect speech is also called reported speech.

It is the reporting of the content of someone's speech without quoting it directly.

E.g., He said, 'I am hungry.'

This is a direct speech, where the original sentence uttered by the speaker is quoted.

He told that he was hungry.

This is an indirect speech, where the original sentence uttered is not quoted but the content is communicated with deteriorating the meaning.
