SESSION 4 AN ADVENTURE – GRAMMAR 4.1 Grammar I. Direct/ Indirect Speech Read the following sentences from the story ‘An Adventure’. “Children, it is time for lunch!” said Granny. When the actual words spoken by a person is placed within inverted commas like this, it is called direct speech. When the words of a speaker are told by another speaker as shown below, it is called Indirect speech (Reported Speech). Granny told the children that it was time for lunch. Notice how the verb changes and how different connectors are added. Direct speech : Ram said to Sita, “I like swimming.” Indirect speech : Ram told Sita that he liked swimming. The change in pronoun is based on the person of the subject and object in direct speech. Direct Speech : Ram said to Sita, “I like swimming but Gopal likes badminton.” Indirect Speech : Ram told Sita that he liked swimming but Gopal liked badminton. Change of tense: If the verb in the reporting clause is in the present tense, the verb between the quotes will remain unchanged. Direct Speech : Ram says to Sita, “I like laddu.” Indirect Speech : Ram tells Sita that he likes laddu. (present) Direct Speech : They will again say, “We want more marks.”(future) Indirect Speech : They will again say that they want more marks. If the verb in the reporting clause is in the past tense, the verb between the quotes will also be in the past tense. Direct Speech : Ram said to Sita, “I like swimming”. Indirect Speech : Ram told Sita that he liked swimming. UNIT 4 83

LESSON 1-AN ADVENTURE An exception to this past tense rule is when the reported clause is a universal truth or a scientific fact.

SESSION 6 AN ADVENTURE – STUDY AND LISTENING 6.1 Study and Listening Study Skills: I. Read the following passage about the origin of the Bravery Awards and the courageous children who displayed their bravery at different situations. The origin of the Bravery Award dates back to 2 October 1957. When India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was watching a performance at Delhi’s Ramlila grounds, at the Red Fort, a fire broke out in a shamiana (decorated tent)due to a short circuit. Then, Harish Chandra, a 14–year old scout, promptly took out his knife, and ripped open the burning shamiana, saving the lives of hundreds of trapped people. This incident inspired Pandit Nehru to initiate the awards. He asked the authorities to institute an award to honour brave children from all over the country, and the tradition has continued since then. Harish Chandra became the first recipient of the award. In 2001, a commemorative book titled “Brave Hearts” was released featuring winners of the National Bravery Awards. The 2008 Bravery Awards were given by the Vice–President, Mohammad Hamid Ansari instead of the Prime Minister. For the first time, the real name of a 2008 award winner, 12– year old Balloon seller, “Rahul” was withheld, as he had identified the men who planted bombs on Barakhamba Road in New Delhi, during 13 September 2008 Delhi bombings. He helped the police make sketches of the suspects. Amongst 21 bravery awards for 2009, two posthumous awards are included. These are the awards given to three girls, Rekha Kalindi (11, Sunita Mahato (11, and Afsana Khatun (12, who revolted against child marriage. Q1. Work in groups.
