Kia ora bloggers,
This week we’ve been learning how to write dialogue. We learnt that there are two types of speech that being direct speech and indirect speech. Direct speech is the character in the story saying someone thing indirect speech is the author telling you what the character said. We’ve learnt how to use both of these type of speech’s correctly here are some examples.
Direct Speech
Mia said to the robot, “What are you here for now?”
The robot replied, “I am here to destroy your house and destroy everything in the world. First I will destroy your
house.”
Indirect Speech
The woman was questioning why the robot was here. To her surprise the robot responded by saying to destroy her house.
Direct Speech
Tommy asked, “What game should we play
when we arrive home?.” “I don’t know maybe Roblox?” replied Micheal.
Indirect
Tommy was talking to Micheal what game they should play when they arrive home they both didn’t know what to play until Micheal made the suggestion of playing Roblox.
Have you used any Direct or Indirect speech in your writing Blog ya later!
