Indirect/Reported speech refers to speech being said to a third person/reporting what happened to a third person.
Example: Sasha said,"I have a Porsche." (Direct)
Sasha said that she has a Porsche. (Indirect)
In the above example, when writing in indirect/reported form, the sentence changes according to its tense form. Also, modifications regarding certain words like 'this' changes to 'that', 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day', 'tonight' changes to 'the previous night', 'you' changes to 'I' and may other words will have to be made.
The teacher said to me,"Why are you late? What a troublesome boy you are! Have you a watch or clock in your home? Can you not find out the proper time? Be punctual in future or you will be punished. (Direct)
The teacher asked me why I was late and added that I was a troublesome boy. She also wanted to know whether I had a watch or clock in my home to find out the proper time. She warned me that I would be punished if I wasn't punctual. (Indirect)
Hope it helps :)
