Question

I told my sister that the record was mine.

Answer 1

The sentence "I told my sister that the record was mine" is in reported or indirect speech and can be transformed into direct speech if we make some changes.

What is reported speech?

Reported speech is the retelling of what someone has said in our own words. However, it is important to understand that we can report what we have said ourselves, as is the case with the sentence we are analyzing here.

It is possible to transform that sentence into direct speech by making a few changes. Let's take a look at how that would go:

• Reported speech: I told my sister that the record was mine.

• Direct speech: I told my sister, "The record is mine."

Notice that we change the verb tense in the reported speech to the past form. In the direct speech, we maintain the words exactly as they were said by the speaker.
