Hi Clive,
I am very thankful to you for your quick reply and valuable suggestion/comment.
I want to know one thing. If it is not clear to whom somebody is talking in direct speech, then what I should use in indirect speech. Should I write it without any object or take any suitable one. IS there any rule for that?
Please help me.
