Direct and Indirect Speech

• Direct speech refers to the statements that are spoken directly by the speaker. Indirect speech refers to the reported speech.

• The tense of the subordinate clause is dependent on the tense of the reporting verb.

• The comma is replaced by that, if, and other question words.

• 'Yesterday' changes to 'the previous day' in the indirect speech.
