Reported speech is a reporting or repeating of the actual words or the context of the initial speaker's conversation to the other person.

There are two types of reported speech -

• Direct speech - The words or conversation of the initial speaker is reported to another person by repeating the actual words spoken by quoting it.

        eg. "I like to swim," said Sham.

• Indirect speech - The words or conversation of the initial speaker is reported to another person by changing the tense into past tense and maintaining the actual context using their own words.

        eg. Sham said that he likes to swim.
