Indirect/Reported Speech refers to a dialogue being told to a third person/reporting what happened to a third person.
Example: She said, "I will be busy tomorrow." (Direct)
She said that she would be busy the next day. (Indirect)
In the above example, when writing in indirect/reported form, the sentence changes according to its tense. Also, modifications regarding certain words like 'this' changes to 'that', 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day', 'will' changes to 'would', 'can' changes to 'could' and many other words will have to be made. Also, if the sentence contains an interrogation, then 'said' changes to 'asked'. Punctuation marks other than a full stop (.) cannot be used in indirect/reported speech.
