Answer 2

Indirect/Reported Speech refers to a dialogue being told to a third person/reporting what happened to a third person.

Example: Liv said,"I will make it for you." (Direct)

                Liv said that she would make it for me. (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 is contains an interrogation, then 'said' changes to 'asked'. Punctuation marks other than a full stop (.) cannot be used in indirect/reported speech.

I said to Ramen,"Please lend me your instrument box." (Direct)

I requested Ramen to lend me his instrument box. (Indirect)
