In English there are 2 types of speeches that are:-

1. Direct speech

2. Indirect speech

Explanation!

1. Direct speech:-

➩ Direct speech also known as quoted speech means the actual or exact words that are spoken by a person.

➩ The direct speech is always enclosed with inverted commas (" ")

➩ There is no change in words.

➩ For eg; Seema said," I am going to sing next."

2. Indirect speech:-

➩ Indirect speech means reporting what the first person has said or asked.

➩ we change a sentence in indirect speech without using first person's actual words.

➩ This is also known as reported speech.

➩ We change it into the past tense.

➩ For eg; Seema told that she is going to sing next.
