JAC Board Class 9 English Grammar Narration Exercises
साधारणतः हम किसी के द्वारा कही गई बात को दो प्रकार से व्यक्त कर सकते हैं :
(1) वक्ता के द्वारा कहे गये शब्दों को ज्यों का त्यों लिखकर या बोलकर।
(2) वक्ता द्वारा कही गई बात को अपनी भाषा में लिखकर या बोलकर। उपर्युक्त प्रथम प्रकार से की गई अभिव्यक्ति को प्रत्यक्ष कथन या Direct Speech कहते हैं तथा दूसरे प्रकार से व्यक्त किये जाने वाले कथन को अप्रत्यक्ष कथन या Indirect Speech कहते हैं; जैसे :
He said, “I can go there.” He said that he could go there. आप इसे इस तरह समझिये। मान लीजिए आप किसी लड़के से पूछते हैं – ‘Where is your father ?’ लड़का आपसे
(Direct Speech) कहता है – ‘My father is at home.’ अब मैं आपसे पूछता हूँ – ‘उस लड़के ने आपसे क्या कहा ?’ ‘What did the boy tell you ?’) आप मुझे उस लड़के की बात दो तरह से कह सकते हैं-
(1) He said to me, “My father is at home.” लड़के का यह कथन जो आप मुझसे कह रहे हैं, Direct Narration का उदाहरण हैं।
(2) यदि आप मुझसे यह कहते हैं | The boy told me that his father was at home, तो यह Indirect Narration का उदाहरण है।
Direct Speech के भाग
इसके दो भाग होते हैं :
(1) Reporting Part – यह भाग inverted commas (“……”) के बाहर होता है। इसकी मुख्य क्रिया Reporting Verb कहलाती है।
(2) Reported Part (Reported Speech) – यह वह कथन होता है जो वक्ता व्यक्त करता है। इसे inverted commas (“……………………..”) के अन्दर रखते हैं। जैसे –
1. Maya said, “Radha is my friend.”
2. Anoop said to me, “Sit down, there.”
उपर्युक्त दोनों Sentences में “said’ Reporting Vero है और “Radha is my friend” तथा “Sit down, there” दोनों ही जो inverted commas’ के अन्दर हैं, Reported Speech हैं।
हम Direct Speech से Indirect Speech में बदलने के नियमों को निम्नलिखित भागों में बाँट सकते हैं :
(A) Assertive Sentences
(B) Interrogative Sentences
(C) Imperative Sentences
(D) Optative Sentences
(E) Exclamatory Sentences.
(A) Statements या Assertive Sentences को बदलना
1. Indirect Speech में inverted comma.s (“……………..”) को हटा देते हैं।
2. Reporting Verb के बाद comma (,) या कभी-कभी full stop (.) का प्रयोग होता है, जिसे हटा देते हैं।
3. Reporting Verb का Tense कभी नहीं बदलता। यदि Reporting Verb के पश्चात् कोई Object (कर्म) आया हो तो said to को told में तथा say to को tell में बदल देते हैं। परन्तु यदि said के बाद कोई Object न हो तो said का said ही रहता है तथा say का say ही रहता है।
4. Reporting Verb को Reported Speech से जोड़ने के लिए ‘that’ Conjunction लगाते हैं।
5. काल (Tenses), सर्वनाम (Pronouns) तथा समय अथवा स्थिति की निकटता (nearness of time or position) सूचक शब्दों में परिवर्तन करते हैं। इन परिवर्तनों के लिए नियमों की विस्तृत व्याख्या इस प्रकार है :

2. Pronouns के Person में परिवरनि सम्बन्धी नियम
Pronouns के तीन Persons होते हैं – (i) First Person, (ii) Second Person, (iii) Third Person । वाक्य में इनका प्रयोग चार रूपों में होता है – (i) Subject के रूप में, (ii) Object के रूप में, (iii) Reflexive के रूप में तथा (iv) Possession (अधिकार) प्रकट करने के लिए। इसके प्रयोग को भली-भाँति समझने हेतु अग्रलिखित तालिका का अध्ययन करें व याद करें :
Pronouns की सारणी:
नियम 1. Reported Speech में आये हुए First Person के Pronouns (I, me, my, mine, myself, we, us, our, ours, ourselves) को Indirect बनाते समय Reporting Verb के कर्त्ता (Subject) के Person, Number और Gender के अनुसार बदल देते हैं। जैसे –
नोट – यदि Direct Speech में या we के साथ shall का प्रयोग किया गया हो और Indirect Speech में बदलते समय के स्थान पर he तथा we के स्थान पर they का प्रयोग किया गया हो तो shall के स्थान पर should का प्रयोग न करके would का प्रयोग करना चाहिए।
नियम 2. Reported Speech में आये हुए Second Person के Pronouns (you, your, yours, yourself, yourselves) को Indirect बनाते समय Reporting Verb के Object के Person, Number और Gender के अनुसार बदलते हैं। जैसे –
नोट – यदि Reporting Verb के बाद किसी Object का प्रयोग नहीं हुआ है, तो Reporting Verb के पश्चात् First Person अथवा Third Person के Pronoun का प्रयोग करके Object बना देते हैं तथा उसी के अनुसार Reported Speech में प्रयुक्त Second Person के Pronoun को First Person अथवा Third Person में बदल देते हैं; जैसे-
(i) Direct : Ram said, “You should work hard.”
Indirect : Ram told her that she should work hard.
(ii) Direct : Mother said, “You should go there soon.”
Indirect : Mother told me that I should go there soon.
अतः स्पष्ट है कि Reporting Verb का Object न होने पर Reported Speech के Second Person के Pronoun को आशय अथवा सन्दर्भ के अनुसार First Person यां Third Person किसी में भी बदल देते हैं । यदि वाक्य से यह स्पष्ट होता है कि you का प्रयोग किसके लिए है, तो उसे उसके Person के अनुसार बदल देते हैं। जैसेDirect : The old man said, “You can go to your house, Anand.”
Indirect : The old man told Anand that he could go to his house.
नियम (i) यदि किसी Sentence में कोई Proper Noun सम्बोधन कारक (Vocative case) में हो तो उस Noun को tell/told का object बना देते हैं। जैसे –
(i) Direct : The father said, “Sarla, you have become lazy.”
Indirect : The father told Sarla that she had become lazy.
(ii) Direct : The policeman said, “You must keep to the left, boys.”
Indirect : The policeman told the boys that they must keep to the left.
नियम (ii) यदि सम्बोधन कारक में कोई अन्य संज्ञा; जैसे – friend, gentleman, father, mother आदि हो तो इन शब्दों से पहले addressed as जोड़कर Reporting Verb के पूर्व प्रयोग करते हैं। जैसे –
Direct : The stranger said to me, “Gentleman, I have lost my way.”
Indirect : The stranger addressed me as gentleman and said that he had lost his way.
Or Addressing me as gentleman the stranger said that he had lost his way.
नियम 3. Direct से Indirect में परिवर्तन करते समय Reported Speech में आये हुए Third Person के Pronouns (he, she, it, they, his, her, its, their, him, them, himself, herself, themselves, hers, theirs) में कोई परिवर्तन नहीं करते हैं। जैसे –
(i) Direct : Suresh said, “He is a clerk.”
Indirect : Suresh said that he was a clerk.
(ii) Direct : I said, “She is not a good player.”
Indirect : I said that she was not a good player.
Note (i) Noùn को सदैव Third Person में मानते हैं ।
(ii) अगर Reporting Verb के कर्ता और कर्म दोनों Third Person और same Gender में हों, तो Indirect में परिवर्तन करते समय उनके सामने कोष्ठक में उन व्यक्तियों का नाम लिख देते हैं । जैसे –
Direct – Nirmala said to Mira, “I shall always help you.”
Indirect – Nirmala told Mira that she (Nirmala) would always help her (Mira).

3. समय तथा स्थिति की निक्ता करो अकर करने वाले शब्दो में परिवर्त केनियम
नियम 1. Direct Speech को Indirect Speech में बदलने में समय तथा स्थिति की निकटता दिखाने वाले शब्दों को दूरी प्रकट करने वाले शब्दों में बदल देते हैं। जैसे –

(iv) Direct : The teacher said, “I feel weak today.”
Indirect : The teacher said that he felt weak that day.
नियम 2. यदि this, here आदि किसी ऐसी वस्तु या स्थान या समय की ओर संकेत करते हैं, जो कहते समय वक्ता के सामने उपस्थित हो, तो Indirect बनाते समय उनमें कोई परिवर्तन नहीं होता है, बल्कि उन्हें ज्यों का त्यों रख देते हैं-
(i) Direct – He said to me, “This is my house.”
Indirect – He told me that this (the house before him) was his house.
(ii) Direct – The leader says, “I am glad to be here this morning.”
Indirect – The leader says that he is glad to be here this morning.
(iii) Direct – Hari said, “They will do it now.”
Indirect – Hari said that they would do it now.
नियम 3. This तथा these का प्रयोग यदि समय की ओर संकेत के लिये होता हो, तो Indirect में इनको that तथा those में ही बदलते हैं।.
(i) Direct – They said, “We are going for a picnic this week.”
Indirect – They said that they were going for a picnic that week.
(ii) Direct – Hari said, “I am preparing for the examination these days.”
Indirect – Hari said that he was preparing for the examination those days.
परन्तु यदि this तथा these का प्रयोग Adjective (this/these + noun) की भाँति हुआ है, तो Indirect बनाते समय that तथा those के स्थान पर the का प्रयोग भी कर सकते हैं। जैसे –
(i) Direct – Sita said, “I have brought this stick from Udaipur.”
Indirect – Sita said that she had brought that stick from Udaipur.
Or
Sita said that she had brought the stick from Udaipur.
(ii) Direct – The typist said, “I have typed all these letters.”

(B) Questions या Interrogative Sentences
Interrogative Sentences से प्रश्न का बोध होता है । इस प्रकार के Sentences को Indirect में बदलते समय निम्नलिखित बातों का ध्यान रखना चाहिए-
नियम 1. Reporting Verb ‘said to’ को asked या enquired of में तथा ‘say to’ को ask में बदल देते हैं।
नियम 2. Interrogative Sentences में ‘that’ Conjunction का प्रयोग नहीं किया जाता।
नियम 3. Indirect में प्रश्नवाचक वाक्य को साधारण वाक्य (Assertive Sentence) बना देते हैं। प्रश्नवाचक चिह्न (?) हटा दिया जाता है और उसके स्थान पर Full Stop (.) का प्रयोग किया जाता है। जैसेः
Direct : He said to me, “Where is she ?”
Indirect : He asked me where she was.
नियम 4. Reported Speech के Pronoun, Verb तथा अन्य शब्दों को साधारण वाक्यों के नियमों के अनुसार बदलते हैं।
(I) Yes/No Answer Type Questions को Indirect में बदलना
नियम 1. जब Direct Speech में ऐसा प्रश्न हो जिसका उत्तर ‘हाँ’ या ‘ना’ ( yes या no) में दिया जा सके अर्थात् Reported Speech किसी Auxiliary Verb (सहायक क्रिया); जैसे – is, are, am, was, were, do, does, did, shall, will, has, have, had, can, may आदि से शुरू हुई हो तो Indirect Speech में Connective Word ‘if’ या ‘whether’ का प्रयोग किया जाता है। जैसे –
(i) Direct : Hari said to me, “Are you reading a book?”
Indirect: Hari asked me if was reading a book.
(ii) Direct : Ram said to Hari, “Will you go to school today?”
Indirect : Ram asked Hari if he would go to school that day.
(iii) Direct : I said to him, “Can you tell me what the time is ?”
Indirect : I asked him if he could tell me what the time was.
नियम 2. अगर Reporting Verb, Past में हो व
(a) Reported Speech में सहायक क्रिया do या does हो और उसके बाद not न हो तो Indirect बनाते समय उनको हटा देते हैं और मुख्य क्रिया को Second form में बदल देते हैं। जैसे –
(i) Direct : She said to me, “Do you know Sohan ?”
Indirect : She asked me if I knew Sohan.
(ii) Direct : Sita said to Hari, “Do you understand English ?”
Indirect : Sita asked Hari if he understood English.
(b) अगर Reported Speech में do या does के बाद not हो तो do या does के स्थान पर did कर दिया जाता है और उसके साथ Verb के First form का ही प्रयोग करते हैं। जैसे –
(i) Direct : Father said to me, “Do you not obey me ?”
Indirect : Father asked me if I did not obey him.
(ii) Direct : Ramesh said to his friend, “Don’t you go to college today?”
Indirect : Ramesh asked his friend if he didn’t go to college that day.
(c) अगर Reported Speech में ‘did’ Helping Verb हो तो उसे हटाकर Main Verb को Past Perfect Tense (had की III form) में बदल देते हैं। जैसे –
Direct : He said to me, “Did you lend me your book ?”
Indirect: He asked me whether I had lent him my book.
(d) जब वाक्य में choice ( विकल्प) पूछने के लिए or दिया हो तो connective के रूप में whether का ही प्रयोग किया जाता है। जैसे –
Direct : He said, “Are you coming with me or not?”
Indirect : He asked me whether I was going with him or not.
(e) जब Reported Speech के उत्तर ‘Yes’ या ‘No’ में दिए गए हों तो इन्हें Indirect में प्रश्न के Subject के pronoun + Helping Verb द्वारा लिखा जाता है। जैसे –
अर्थात् –
Yes = प्रश्न के Subject का pronoun + H.V.
No = प्रश्न के Subject का pronoun H.V. not
जैसे –
(i) Direct : I asked Hari, “Do you know Urdu ?” Hari said, “Yes.”
Indirect : I asked Hari if he knew Urdu. Hari replied that he did.
(ii) Direct ： I said to Ravi, “Are you going to Mumbai ?” Ravi said, “No.”
Indirect : I asked Ravi if he was going to Mumbai. Ravi replied that he was not.
नोट-Yes को replied in affirmative तथा No को replied in negative में भी बदला जा सकता है परन्तु अब इनका प्रयोग अच्छा नहीं समझा जाता है।

(1) Wh Word type frestions को Ladirect मैं बदलना
नियम 1. यदि Reported Speech प्रश्नवाचक शब्द (what, who, which, whom, whose, when, where, why, how, आदि) से शुरू होता है तो Indirect Speech में कोई अन्य Connective नहीं लगाया जाना चाहिए। ये शब्द ही स्वयं Connective का कार्य करते हैं। इनके बाद Subject, फिर Verb का प्रयोग करते हैं। जैसे-

Imperative Sentences में let को बदलने के नियम
let मुख्य रूप से दो बातें प्रकट करने के लिए प्रयोग में आता है –
(1) कोई प्रस्ताव करने के लिए,
(2) अनुमति (permission) प्राप्त करने के लिए।
1. प्रस्ताव – यदि let का प्रयोग प्रस्ताव करने के लिए होता है तो –
(i) Reporting Verb को proposed या suggested में बदल देते हैं। यदि Reporting Verb के साथ Object दिया हो तो Reporting Verb को proposed to या suggested to में बदलते हैं।
(ii) let को हटाकर Connective word ‘that’ का प्रयोग करते हैं।
(iii) Let us Let’s को हटाकर we / they should का प्रयोग करते हैं।
[Let’s V1 we/they should V1]
(i) Direct – Girraj said to Kishore, “Let us go for a walk.”
Indirect – Girraj proposed to Kishore that they should go for a walk.
(ii) Direct – The girls said, “Let’s play a hockey match today.”

नोट – जिन वाक्यों में ‘let’ के पश्चात् us आता है, उनसे साधारणतया प्रस्ताव का बोध होता है तथा इन्हें इसी प्रकार से बदला जाता है।
2. अनुमति – यदि let का तात्पर्य अनुमति से होता है तो Reporting Verb को भाव के अनुसार requested में बदलकर let को Infinitive ‘to let’ में बदल देते हैं। दूसरी विधि यह है कि let के स्थान पर that का प्रयोग करते हैं, फिर Noun या Pronoun, उसके बाद might be allowed to और फिर क्रिया की First form लगाते हैं; जैसे –
Direct – He said to his friend, “Let me go home.”
Indirect – He requested his friend to let him go home.
He requested his friend that he might be allowed to go home.
नोट – यदि Reporting Verb में object I Person का (me, us) हो और Reported Speech में let के बाद us दिया हो तो उसे (us को) we/they में बदल देते हैं। उसे Reporting Verb के subject के अनुसार नहीं बदला जाता है।
