Speaking directly is using the speaker's actual words to convey the message. Example of direct speech: Maya said, "I'm busy right now." Example of indirect speech: Maya claimed to be preoccupied at the time.
Whenever information is communicated without the speaker's actual words, the speaker is said to be speaking indirectly. Examples are "They stated you didn't like it," "I asked her what her plans were," and "Citizens complained about the smoke."
Method for converting direct speech to indirect speaking
- Take away the comma and the inverted commas.
- Put "that" in between the reported speeches and the reporting. The phrase "that" might be inserted between the reporting and the reported utterance.
- Except for "I," change the reported speech's first letter to a tiny one.
