Indirect/Reported Speech refers to a dialogue being told to a third person/reporting what happened to a third person.
Example: Traynor said,"I have bought a new car." (Direct)
Traynor said that he had bought a new car. (Indirect)
In the above example, when writing in indirect/reported form, the sentence changes according to its tense. Also, modifications regarding certain words like 'this' changes to 'that', 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day', 'will' changes to 'would', 'can' changes to 'could' and many other words have to be made. Also, if the sentence contains an interrogation, then 'said' changes to 'asked'.Punctuation marks other than a full stop (.) cannot be used in indirect/reported speech.
He said to me,"Will you not go to Patna?" (Direct)
He asked me if I would not go to Patna. (Indirect)
