direct speech seems to be a conversation with only a first person and a second person
in the indirect speech the 1st person speaks to the second person about a third person..

❝ IF WE COMPARE THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT FORMS OF NARRATION, WE FIND THE FOLLOWING POINTS OF DIFFERENCE ❞
➠ The direct speech is always within the inverted commas and it is seperated from the rest of the sentence usually by a comma. No inverted commas are used in the indirect speech.
➠In the indirect speech, a conjuction if necessary is used to join the reported speech with the rest of the sentence.
➠Tenses, personal pronouns(i,we,you,etc..), possessive adjectives(my,our,your)and adverbs denoting nearness of time and place undergo certain changes when the direct speech is converted into indirect speech.
