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

• Direct speech
• Indirect speech

Direct speech:-

Direct speech – Saying something directly by using the exact words of the speaker is known as direct speech.

• While writing, the original words of the person should be always written inside inverted commas.

Example:- I said, "I will be going to school from tomorrow".

Indirect speech:-

Indirect speech – It can be defined as, saying something what the speaker had said but by making some modifications.

• Inverted commas should be ignored while writing, in case of indirect speech.
• It must be in past tense except in two cases: (a) If it's a universal/generel verity (b) If it's reporting verb is in present or future tense.

Example:- I said that I would be going to school from the next day. [Here, the indirect speech of the above given example is given].
