In English there are 2 types of speeches that are :-

1. Direct speech

2. Indirect speech

Explanation !!

1. Direct speech:-

→ Direct speech also known as quoted speech means the actual or exact words that are spoken by a person.

→ The direct speech is always enclosed with inverted commas (" ")

→ There is no change in words.

→ For eg; She said," I don't know anything."

2. Indirect speech:-

→ Indirect speech means reporting what the first person has said or asked.

→ we change a sentence in indirect speech without using first person's actual words.

→ This is also known as reported speech.

→ We change it into the past tense.

For eg; She said that she didn't know anything.

First of all let us learn about direct and indirect speech:-

Direct Speech– reporting the message of the speaker in the exact words as spoken by him.

Direct speech Example:

• Maya said ‘I am busy now’.

Indirect speech- reporting the message of the speaker in our own words

Indirect speech Example:

• Maya said that she was busy then.
