Direct speech.

• Direct speech is used when the words spoken or written down are actual words spoken by some person.

For example

• He said, " It is raining today".

Indirect or (reported) speech.

• It is used when a person reports direct speech, that is, he reports orally or write down the words in an appropriate tense and refers to the original speaker in the third person.

For example

• He said that it was raining that day.
