Here we are to discuss the Changing of the narration of a speech starting with a Vocative Word or Addressing Word.
Like in the sentence "Amal, what are you doing here?", someone is calling/addressing another person as 'Amal' and this word 'Amal' is known as vocative word or addressing word.
In a direct narration, actually the addressing word refers to the listener.
#1. Direct – I said, “John, are you busy now?”
– In this sentence, the listener is addressed as ‘John’, which is actually the listener’s name.
Or,
#2. Direct – He said to us, “Brothers, are you happy?”
– Here the listeners are addressed as ‘brothers’ which is neither the listeners’ actual name, nor is it used for blood relation, rather it is used casually for the sake .
