Question

Teacher said," Do not make noise".​

Answer 1

Answer:

Teacher ordered not to make noise ...

Answer 2

Answer:

Direct speech means quoting, in speech marks, the actual words used (by the teacher in this example). Direct speech is exact speech. So the direct speech version of this sentence would be:

“The teacher said ‘Don’t make a noise.’”

That’s because “Don’t make a noise” is what the teacher actually said. It’s direct speech, in other words it’s come to us directly, without being changed in any way. It’s letting the teacher’s own words speak for themselves.

Indirect speech means not using speech marks, and reporting the meaning of what the teacher said, slightly changing the grammatical construction so that it fits:

“The teacher said to not make a noise.”
