Explanation:

The exact words uttered are repeated or quoted in direct speech. When writing in direct speech, we enclose the spoken words in quotation marks (""), and they remain unchanged. We can be summarizing what is currently being stated (for instance, a phone conversation) or retelling what was spoken in the past.

When reported or indirect language makes references to the past, the verb tenses of the words are often modified. Examples of reporting verbs include saying, informing, and inquiring. The preposition "that" may also be used to introduce the reported words. It doesn't utilize the word "inverted."

To describe previous events, frequently in chronological order, we employ the simple past. The past perfect reflects occurrences and deeds that took place before another past deed. The simple past rather than the past perfect is frequently used in spoken English.
