There are two kind of speech.

• Direct Speech
• Indirect Speech

We use Direct Speech when we repeat someone's words

Examples:

• I say, " I am all right."
• He said, " The earth moves."
• He says," I am always busy. "
• She will say," Munia knows everything.
• He said, " Mother works hard.

We use indirect speech when we use our own words to report what someone says.

Examples:

• I say that I am all right.
• He said that the earth moves.
• He says that he is always busy.
• She will say that munia knows everything.
• He said that mother worked hard.

Note:

• The quote starts with the capital letter preceded by a comma.
• The indirect speech contains no quote mark,nor any comma.
• In indirect speech ' told ' may be used for ' said to '; ' told ' takes an object
