• We know that there are two ways of reporting speech.
• The first type of reporting speech is a direct speech where we insert the speech of the speaker within the parentheses.
• The second type of reporting speech is an indirect speech where we do not insert the speaker's speech within the parentheses.
• In indirect speech, we report the speech in a sentence merging the part of the direct speech within parentheses with the part of the direct speech containing the speaker and the listener.
• The verb in the part of the direct speech within parentheses follows the agreement with the verb of the part of the direct speech containing the speaker or the addresser.
• Abiding by the laws of grammar, we can convert direct speech to indirect speech and vice versa.

• The sentence "Dad told Kevin that he would not give him money" is in indirect speech. The direct speech of this sentence is - Dad said to Kevin, "I will not give you money."
