• For example, He said, "Why are you leaving."
• In Indirect Speech, we use our own words to repeat what someone said. Words can be different but the context should be the same.
• For example, He asked why I was leaving.

Explanation:

Direct and Indirect Speech

In direct speaking, we only restate what was said in the exact same words as in the inquiry.

For example, He said, "Why are you leaving."

In indirect speech, we repeat what someone else stated using our own words. The context should be the same even if the words are different.

He inquired about my departure, for instance.
