✎ In case of an interrogative sentence, the reporting verb "said / said to" is changed to "asked" and the conjunction used is "if / whether" in Indirect Speech.

✎ The time phrase "now" in Direct Speech is changed to "then" in Indirect Speech and "tomorrow" in Direct Speech is changed to "the next day / the following day" in Indirect Speech.

____________________________________________

➬ In Direct Speech, the words of the speaker is expressed in the same way that it is said by the speaker i.e, with speech marks and using exactly the same words.

➬ The words of the speaker are kept within Inverted Comma (" ") in Direct Speech and there we need ti use Comma (,) between the Reporting Verb and Direct Speech.

____________________________________________

➬ In Indirect Speech, the words of the speaker is expressed without speech marks and without necessarily using exactly the same words, keeping the meaning same.

➬ Unlike Direct Speech, there is the need of using "that" or any necessary conjunction instead of the the Comma (,) in Indirect Speech.

➬ There is also needed some grammatical changes while changing the speech from Direct speech to Indirect Speech.
