• Indirect Speech:  These types of sentences tell us what someone said but do not use the exact words of the speaker.

• Usually, indirect speech talks about the past therefore we use words like 'asked', 'said', 'told', etc.,

• The tense used here tells us that something was asked by the speaker in the past.
• There is no use of inverted commas in indirect speech.
