Explanation:

• When we describe what somebody has said or told one possibility is using direct speech. We use direct speech when we repeat what somebody says, by putting the phrase in the middle of speech marks.

• Direct speech is used in almost every tense in English. Most written forms of English will use direct speech in this way. When we report what somebody had told without speech marks and without essentially using precisely the same words, we use indirect speech or reported speech.
• That is, indirect speech will share the same info; however, rather than expressing someone’s speech/comments by directly repeating them, it includes describing/reporting what was told.

• Indirect speech is a way of conveying the content of questions, statements, or other expressions, sans citing them explicitly as it is done in direct speech.
• Indirect speech is also referred to as reported speech, wherein we report what somebody told without speech marks and sans using precisely the same words.
• A palpable difference between direct and indirect speech is we do not use inverted commas in indirect speech
