a) Teacher: Asif why are you crawling into the class?

        Asif: I am sorry teacher. But yesterday you warned me not to walk into the class late. So......


b) Teacher: Shravari you are regularly late to school. Don't you feel ashamed? Why do you come to school so late?

     Shravari: I am sorry, Madam. But on my way to school there is a road sign that says, Go Slow'. And ma'am you have instructed us to always follow what road signs say.


Can you underline the words in the joke that were used as excuses for late-coming? 

And - road sign that says, 'Go Slow'


Now discuss within groups and share some simple jokes about teachers and students. Try to write one or two such jokes in your own words in the above format.

Ans-

1) Teacher: Did you break this window- glass in the class today, Tom?

Tom: Not me,Madam. It was my twin brother, Jerry, from our class.

Teacher: Where is he? Call him quick.

Tom: He is absent today, Madam.


2) Maths teacher: Listen of boys! There were 10 birds on a branch of a tree. A hunter hit and fell one of them by his catapult. How many birds were there on the branch now?

Nanhe: None!

Maths teacher: How's that?

Nanhe: Others flew away!


2) Reported Speech


Speech or dialogues can be reported in two ways - Direct and Indirect. When exact words of the speaker are reported we call it Direct speech. When exact words of the speaker are not reported, but just its contents we call it. Indirect speech.


Direct speech: Amar said, "I shall come to meet you tomorrow, Sanket."


Indirect speech: Aamar told Sanket that he would go to meet him the next day.


Note down the changes you observe in the Indirect Speech.


1) In reporting verb there is no comma after 'said'.

2) In indirect speech inverted commas will be removed.

3) Conjunction 'that' is used after 'said'

4) Reporting verb 'said' is in past tense so the past tense of verb in inverted comma is used.


Thses changes occured in statement/ Assertive sentences.
