Concept:

The main difference between direct and indirect speech is that in direct speech, a quote is used exactly, whereas in indirect speech, your own words are used. Direct speech is very simple to understand and to use.

Explanation:

Direct speech

• A direct speech report details the precise words a speaker or writer used. Contrast with indirect speech. It is also known as direct speech. With a reporting verb, signal phrase, or quotative frame, direct speech is typically enclosed in quotation marks.

For example:

He said, “I am going to school.”

Indirect speech

• Reporting speech is another name for indirect speech. Other names for it include indirect discourse and indirect storytelling.

• The act of reporting in your own words what someone else said while maintaining the original meaning is known as indirect speech.

For example:

                 They said that they could win a prize.

Therefore the given direct speech can be converted into indirect speech as, "The mother asked if I had seen such a naughty disobedient girl".
