______________________________________

Explanation!

• Direct speech:-

➩ Direct speech also known as quoted speech means the actual or exact words that are spoken by a person.

➩ The direct speech is always enclosed with inverted commas (" ")

➩ There is no change in words.

➩ For eg; She said to me," Put your phone down."

• Indirect speech:-

➩ Indirect speech means reporting what the first person has said or asked.

➩ we change a sentence in indirect speech without using first person's actual words.

➩ This is also known as reported speech.

➩ We change it into the past tense.

➩ For eg;- She ordered me to put my phone down.
