Narration/speech-কাকে বলে?
বক্তার Statement কে Narration / Speech বলে। সহজ ভাবে বলতে গেলে বক্তা যা বলে তাই Narration.
Example: Matt said to Erica, “You are very polite”.
Narration ২ প্রকার। 1. Direct Narration -প্রত্যক্ষ উক্তি
2. Indirect Narration-পরোক্ষ উক্তি
1. Direct Narration: বক্তার উক্তি বক্তা নিজে হুবহু প্রকাশ করলে তাকে Direct Narration বলে।
Example: Matt said to Erica,” You are a small girl”.
উপরের বাক্যটিতে Matt নিজের কথা নিজে বলছে।তাই এটা Direct Speech. একটি Direct speech এর দুটি অংশ থাকে
i. Reporting verb এবং
ii. Reported speech.
Example: The teacher said to the student, “What is your future plan”?
The teacher said to the student, এ said হল Reporting verb এবং “What is your future plan?” হল Reported speech.
2. Indirect Narration: বক্তার কথা যখন সরাসরি উদ্রিত না হয়ে পরোক্ষ ভাবে উদ্রিত হয় তাকে Indirect speech বলে।
যেমনঃ He told me that I was a brilliant student.
এই বাক্যে বক্তার কথাকে পরোক্ষ ভাবে প্রকাশ করা হয়েছে। তাই এটা Indirect speech.

i. Reported speech এর subject 1st person হলে Reporting Speech এর Subject অনুযায়ী পরিবর্তন হবে।
ii. Reported speech এর subject 2nd person হলে Reporting Speech এর Object অনুযায়ী পরিবর্তন হবে।
iii. Reported speech এর Subject 3rd person হলে কোনো পরিবর্তন হবে না।
