In Direct speech, we generally will see that the dialogue of the speaker is enclosed inside inverted commas.

But,

In the Indirect speech, it is the direct sentence where dialogue is not enclosed inside the inverted commas. Here, we can't predict thd exact words but it gives only the substance of what the speaker said.

Changes in tense are:

[ When reporting verb is in past tense ]

• Simple present ➝ Simple past.
• Present continous ➝ Past continous.
• Present perfect ➝ Past perfect
• Simple past(sometimes) ➝ Past perfect.
