Rules to Change the Persons of Pronouns [ सर्वनाम के वचन में परिवर्तन सम्बन्धी नियम ]

Direct से Indirect बनाने के लिए Persons में परिवर्तन सम्बन्धी नियमो का अच्छा ज्ञान होना आवश्यक है l Person निम्नलिखित तीन प्रकार के होते है-

1-First Person (I, My, Mine, Me, Myself, We, Us, Our, Ours, Ourself, Ourselves ) [ प्रथम पुरुष]
2-Second Person ( you, Your, Yours, Yourself, Thou, Thee, Thine, Thyself ) [मध्यम पुरुष ]
3-Third Person ( He, Him, His, Himself, She, Her, Herself, It, It’s, Itself, They, Them, Their, Themselves, Name [ उत्तम पुरुष ]

Rule 1-यदि Direct Speech के Reported Part में First Person का Pronoun आया हो तो Indirect बनाते समय उसको रिपोर्टिंग Part के Subject के Person, Number, and Gender के अनुसार बदल देते है l

For Example:-
Direct-  They said, “We have been going to school.”
Indirect-  They said that they had been going to school.

Direct-  The child said to me, “I have been jumping so high.”
Indirect-  The child told me that he had been jumping so high.

Rule 2-यदि Direct Speech के Reported Part में Second Person का Pronoun आया हो तो Indirect बनाते समय उसको रिपोर्टिंग Part के Object के

Person, Number, and Gender के अनुसार बदल देते है l

For Example:-
Direct-  They said to her, “You have been going to school.”
Indirect-  They told her that she had been going to school.

Direct-  The child said to me, “You have been jumping so high.”
Indirect-  The child told me that I had been jumping so high.

Note-यदि Direct Speech के Reported Part में Second Person का Pronoun आया हो लेकिन Reporting Part में Object न आया हो तो Indirect बनाते समय रिपोर्टिंग Part में अपने तरफ से First Person या Third Person के Pronoun को अपना Object बनाकर उसके अनुसार बदल देते है l

For Example:-
Direct-  They said, “You have been going to school.”
Indirect-  They told her that she had been going to school.

Direct-  The child said, “You have been jumping so high.”
Indirect-  The child told me that I had been jumping so high.

Rule 3-यदि Direct Speech के Reported Part में Third Person का Pronoun आया हो तो Indirect बनाते समय उसको नहीं बदलते है l

For Example:-
Direct-  They said to her, “He has been going to school.”
Indirect-  They told her that he had been going to school.

Direct-  The child said to me, “They have been jumping so high.”
Indirect-  The child told me that they had been jumping so high.

Rule 4-कभी-कभी Reporting Speech के Subject तथा Object दोनों Third Person में होते है, ऐसे में Indirect बनाते समय यह पता नहीं चल पाता है कि Pronoun Subject के अनुसार बदला है या Object के अनुसार, इसलिए कोष्ठक के अन्दर उन Pronoun को लिख देते है जिनके अनुसार परिवर्तन होता है l

For Example:-
Direct-  He said to him, “You have been going to my school.”
Indirect-  He told him that he(object) had been going to his(subject) school.

Direct-  Ram said to Mohan, “I have given you a pen.”
Indirect-  Ram told Mohan that He (subject) had given him (object) a pen.
