Direct Speech :-
Direct speech describes when something is being repeated exactly as it was – usually in between a pair of inverted commas.
For example :-
“He said to her, “I’ll catch the last train home.”
Indirect Speech :-
Indirect speech will still share the same information – but instead of expressing someone's comments or speech by directly repeating them, it involves reporting or describing what was said.
For example : -
She said that she was not hungry.
