Explanation:

• There are two main ways of reporting.

• These are direct speech and indirect or reported speech.

• When we use direct speech, we quote the actual word spoken by a person.

• In writing, this is shown within quotation marks.

• When we use indirect speech, we do not quote the actual words spoken by a person.
