direct and indirect speech worksheet for grade 4

Introduction

If you’re teaching direct and indirect speech and your students are having a hard time changing sentences correctly, this resource was made to give them extra practice in a simple and clear way. I created these exercises after noticing that many students understand the basic idea of reported speech but still struggle when changing pronouns, verbs, and commands correctly. So the goal here is just to give them enough repetition to feel more confident.

Objective:
