Answer:
Indirect speech: reporting the message of the speaker in our own words
Explanation:
The following rules should be followed while converting an indirect speech to direct speech:
1.Use the reporting verb such as (say, said to) in its correct tense.
2.Put a comma before the statement and the first letter of the statement should be in capital letter.
Insert question mark, quotation marks, exclamation mark and full stop, based on the mood of the sentence.
3.Remove the conjunctions like (that, to, if or whether) wherever necessary.
Where the reporting verb is in past tense in indirect, change it to present tense in the direct speech.
4.Change the past perfect tense either into present perfect tense or past tense, as necessary.
