Answer 1

He exclaimed with sorrow that that couldn’t be that bad.

What is direct and indirect speech?

• In English linguistics, a direct voice sentence can be described as a sentence in which the exact words of the speaker are used to convey the message of the speaker. Direct speech is written in inverted commas.
• On the other hand, in indirect speech, we report what someone said without quoting the exact words said by the speaker. Indirect speech is not written in inverted commas.
