Grade 6 Reported Speech Worksheet
Importance of Learning Reported Speech in Grade 6
By Grade 6, students begin using English for longer texts, conversations, dialogues, and descriptive writing. Knowing how to convert direct speech into reported speech is essential because it:
improves clarity in writing and summarizing,
helps students write stories, dialogues, and essays more effectively,
strengthens understanding of verb tense changes,
enhances comprehension and note-taking skills,
prepares students for advanced grammar in Grades 7–8 and competitive exams.
Reported Speech teaches children how to share information accurately without copying words exactly, a skill used in daily communication and academic writing.
