Direct speech
When we want to describe what someone said, one option is to use direct speech. We use direct speech when we simply repeat what someone says, putting the phrase between speech marks:
- Paul came in and said, “I’m really hungry.”
Indirect speech
When we want to report what someone said without speech marks and without necessarily using exactly the same words, we can use indirect speech (also called reported speech). For example:
- Direct speech: “We’re quite cold in here.”
- Indirect speech: They say (that) they’re cold.
