📘 Introduction: Pronouns & Time/Place Words

Direct Speech को Indirect Speech में बदलते समय Pronouns (I, we, you, he, she, they, etc.) और Time/Place के शब्द (now, here, today, tomorrow, etc.) बदलते हैं। इन परिवर्तनों का SON (Subject–Object–No change) नियम सबसे महत्वपूर्ण है। इस चैप्टर में हम इन परिवर्तनों का विशेष अभ्यास करेंगे।

📌 Golden Rules – SON (Subject–Object–No change)

  • 🔹 First Person (I, we, my, our, me, us) → Subject of Reporting Verb के अनुसार बदलता है।
  • 🔹 Second Person (you, your, yours) → Object of Reporting Verb के अनुसार बदलता है।
  • 🔹 Third Person (he, she, it, they, him, her, them, their) → No Change (वैसे ही रहता है)।

📌 Time Words: Now→Then, Today→That day, Tomorrow→The next day, Yesterday→The previous day, Ago→Before, Tonight→That night, etc.

📌 Place Words: Here→There, This→That, These→Those, Hence→Thence, etc.

📖 Detailed Notes – Rules with 5 Examples Each

👤 1 Rule 1: First Person (I, we, my, our, me, us) → Subject of Reporting Verb

First Person Pronouns (I, we, me, us, my, our, mine, ours) – इनका परिवर्तन Reporting Verb के Subject पर निर्भर करता है।

  • यदि Reporting Verb का Subject 'He' है → I → He, We → They, My → His, Our → Their, Me → Him, Us → Them.
  • यदि Reporting Verb का Subject 'She' है → I → She, We → They, My → Her, Our → Their, Me → Her, Us → Them.
  • यदि Reporting Verb का Subject 'I' है → I → I (same), We → We, My → My, Our → Our, Me → Me, Us → Us (no change).
  • यदि Reporting Verb का Subject 'They' है → I → They, We → They, My → Their, Our → Their, Me → Them, Us → Them.
📝 5 Examples:
  1. He said, "I am happy." → He said that he was happy.
  2. She said, "We are going." → She said that they were going.
  3. I said, "My book is here." → I said that my book was there. (Subject 'I' → 'my' remains same)
  4. They said, "Our team won." → They said that their team had won.
  5. He said to me, "Give me your pen." → He ordered me to give him my pen. (Subject 'He' → 'me' → 'him')
👤 2 Rule 2: Second Person (you, your, yours) → Object of Reporting Verb

Second Person Pronouns (you, your, yours) – इनका परिवर्तन Reporting Verb के Object पर निर्भर करता है।

  • यदि Reporting Verb का Object 'me' है → you → I, your → my, yours → mine.
  • यदि Reporting Verb का Object 'him' है → you → he, your → his, yours → his.
  • यदि Reporting Verb का Object 'her' है → you → she, your → her, yours → hers.

👤 3 Rule 3: Third Person (he, she, it, they, him, her, them, their) – No Change

Third Person Pronouns (he, she, it, they, him, her, them, his, her, its, their) – ये कभी नहीं बदलते (वैसे ही रहते हैं)।

  • Direct Speech में चाहे कोई भी Reporting Verb हो, Third Person Pronouns अपरिवर्तित रहते हैं।
