To convert indirect speech to direct speech, it's important to properly attribute the words to whom they were originally spoken and maintain the correct punctuation. Here’s how you can change each sentence from indirect to direct speech:
"Are you hungry?" I asked him.
"Do you love chocolates?" Anita asked the boy.
"Are you tired?" the girl enquired.
"Will you participate in the debate competition?" I asked Kamal.
"Do you like history?" the teacher asked me.
"Are you sleeping now?" she asked me.
"Have you done it?" he asked me.
"Do you play Tennis?" Mita asked her sister.
"Have you taken lunch?" she enquired of her son.
"Have you been ringing the bell?" you asked her.
"Have you gone to the playground?" Rohit asked his friend.
"Were you absent yesterday?" she asked me.
In direct speech, you use quotation marks to surround the actual words spoken and place a comma before the quotation to separate it from the rest of the sentence. The punctuation mark, like a question mark, remains inside the quotation marks at the end of the sentence. This structure helps in clearly identifying the speaker and the speech.
