Explanation:

Direct speech:

Direct speech can be used to tell someone what is being said right now or what will be spoken in the future.

• Direct or quoted speech is spoken or written material that recounts speech or thinking in its original form as expressed by the original speaker. It is a type of transcription. It is often surrounded by quote marks in the narrative, however, in other languages, it can also be surrounded by guillemets.

• The precise words uttered are repeated or quoted in direct speech. When writing an indirect speech, we enclose the uttered words in quotation marks ("), and they remain unchanged.
• Speech is introduced using speech, quote, or inverted comma marks. A capital letter will begin each line of dialogue. At the conclusion of the sentence, a reporting clause is utilized. At the conclusion of the reporting clause, a full stop is used.
• Punctuation is used in direct speaking to distinguish the spoken words or conversation from the rest of the text. The words a character actually says, or the direct speech, should be enclosed in speech marks. For instance, Sonu said, "Can I ask you a chemistry question?"
