Direct Speech:

When we want to describe what someone said, one option is to use direct speech. We use direct speech when we simply repeat what someone says, putting the phrase between speech marks:

For example:

• Paul came in and said, “I’m really hungry.”

• The local MP said, “We plan to make this city a safer place for everyone.”

Indirect Speech:

When we want to report what someone said without speech marks and without necessarily using exactly the same words, we can use indirect speech (also called reported speech).

For example:

Direct speech: “We’re quite cold in here.”

Indirect speech: They say (that) they’re cold.

Direct speech: “I have a new car.”

Indirect speech: He said he had a new car
