Direct and Indirect Speech

• In Direct Speech, exact same words are used to report what someone said. Quotation marks are used to enclose the said words.
• For example, The boss said to him, " get out of my office."
• In Indirect Speech, different words are used to repeat what someone said. We can choose our own words but the context should be the same.
