What are direct and indirect speeches?

1. Direct Speech:

• In Direct speech, we repeat the exact words by the speaker.
• Reporting speech is placed between inverted commas.
• For example, He said, " I have lost my pen".

2. Indirect Speech:

• In Indirect Speech, we repeat in our own words what is said by the speaker.
• Generally, we use "said that" in this speech.
• For example, He said that he had lost his pen.

The given direct speech is in the simple present tense so we changed into a simple past in indirect speech.
