There are two types of speeches ----
(1) Direct speech or Direct narration
(2) Indirect speech or Indirect narration
What a man says is kept as it is within a quotation (" ") marks. A sentence containing such a quote is called the DIRECT SPEECH or DIRECT NARRATION.
⟹ The direct speech is always enclosed with inverted commas (" ")
⟹ There is no change in words.
- Example : She said, "Rama has done this work."
Sometimes the exact speech of a speaker is not repeated but reported. Such a speech is called INDIRECT SPEECH or INDIRECT NARRATION.
⟹ 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.
- Example : She said that Rama had done that work.
