Preparation

To report questions, drop the question word order, if converting yes/no questions, invert using "if" or "whether," as well as changing the tense. Direct: "Are you ready?" asked Mia. Indirect: Mia asked if I was ready. The quotation marks are gone, and the sentence reports like a statement. For "wh-" questions, keep the "wh-" question word. Direct: "Where is it? Indirect: she asked where it was.

Tenses tend to backshift in indirect speech; thus, present to past, past to past perfect. Direct: "I eat pizza," says Jack. Indirect: Jack said he had made pizza. This "backshift" is important as it indicates the action came before the speaker. Do not backshift tenses, however, with facts. For example, "the earth is round" remains "the earth is round."

To change a statement, just change the pronouns, change the tense (hence, “say” to “said, ” or “is” to “was”), and change the time words. E.g., direct: "I am tired," said Emma. Indirect: Emma said she was tired. Remove the quotation marks, use "that" to link the two sentences together, and position yourself in that of the author.

Subject plays a crucial role in letter writing, and while writing a letter, the candidate must write a very apt, creative, and short subject. For example, “Request for Scholarship Renewal” or “Complaint Regarding Water Supply.”

In competitive exams, just next to the question, the word count is written, however, most exams expect 150–200 words. Going beyond can cost marks and also consume a lot of time and in exams, a student needs to be time-constrained. Practice writing letters that are concise, focused, and within limits.

Yes, letter writing is still relevant, although not very popular due to the excess usage of emails and social media messages, but letter writing has its own old world charm and it gives a personal touch, which is often appreciated.

To letter-writing, students must practice by referring to solved examples and assessing the past year's question papers. While practicing, they must focus on clarity, grammar, and correct format. Use concise language and remember to proofread.

Formal letters are structured and meant for official communication, like complaints or job applications, while informal letters are casual, written to friends or family, and don't require a specific format. The main difference between the two is the tone.
