Speech:-

There are two types of ways of reporting the words of the speaker ---- the direct speech and the indirect,or reported speech.

Direct speech:-

Direct speech reports the exact words of the speaker.

Indirect speech:-

In indirect speech,we report what the speaker said without quoting his/her exact words.

For example,

ꔷRaghav said, " I am playing ".

ꔷRaghav said that he was playing.

Let us compare the two ways of speaking''''''''

In the forms of direct speech:-

ꔷ The exact words of the speaker are repeated.

ꔷThe words of the speaker are enclosed within inverted commas.

ꔷ The introductory verb is " said".

In the forms of indirect speech :-

ꔷ The speaker's words are reported by someone in his or her words.

ꔷSince, the exact words of the speaker are not reproduced, the inverted commas are removed.

ꔷ The introductory verb is usually said or told.
