Indirect/Reported Speech refers to a dialogue being told to a third person/reporting what happened to a third person.

Example: She said,"I can't wait to skydive!" (Direct)

                She said that she couldn't wait to skydive. (Indirect)

In the above example, when writing in indirect/reported form, the sentence changes according to its tense. Also, modifications regarding certain words like 'this' changes to 'that', 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day', 'will' changes to 'would', 'can' changes to 'could' and many other words have to be made.
