Explanation:

• There are two methods for recording someone's spoken words: Direct or indirect speech is possible. It is normal to converse in this way between individuals.
• Direct speaking is the act of citing statements directly. To surround it, use either quote marks or inverted commas. After said, a colon or comma is used to introduce the speaker's spoken words.
• Indirect speech, on the other hand, refers to speech in which the speaker's actual words are changed as a result of previously spoken words. The sentence, which is pronoun-filled, changes simultaneously.
• When the reporting verb is in the past and the direct speech is in the present indefinite tense, the indirect (reported) speech goes to the past indefinite tense.
