In English there are 2 types of speeches that are:-

• Direct speech
• Indirect speech

Direct speech:-

• Direct speech also known as quoted speech means the actual or exact words that are spoken by a person.

• ➩ The direct speech is always enclosed with inverted commas (" ")
• ➩ There is no change in words.

For eg; The teacher said to me," Your exam paper is well."

Indirect speech:-

• Indirect speech means reporting what the first person has said or asked.

• ➩ we change a sentence in indirect speech without using first person's actual words.
• ➩ This is also known as reported speech.
• ➩ We change it into the past tense.

For eg; Teacher told me that my exam paper was well.
