Direct and Indirect speech:
Direct speech are those conversations that takes place between two or more people which are written down as they are with the correct words and pronunciations used. In indirect speech (which is also called reported speech), the conversation taken place between two or more people is reported by a third person. To change a direct conversation to indirect speech, we must turn the sentence into its corresponding past tense while denoting the names of the people who spoke the sentence.
