Explanation:

• The verb "to say" (or "said" in the past) is frequently used in direct speech, which is a sentence in which the exact words spoken are reproduced in speech marks. But you can also find additional verbs like "ask," "respond," and "shout" that are used to denote direct conversation.
• Indirect speech refers to the reporting of general points made during a speech without actually writing the speech out in its entirety. It is also known as reported speech.
