Answer :

This question is on direct and indirect speech.

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "direct speech" as "When you use direct speech, you repeat what someone has said using exactly the words they used."

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "indirect speech" as "the act of reporting something that was said, but not using exactly the same words."

Direct Speech : Rahim said to me, "do you know the man standing at the gate."

Indirect Speech : Rahim asked me if I knew the man standing at the gate.
