Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer- Indirect speech

Indirect speech is also called as reported speech.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept Introduction:

• We use Indirect speech or Reported speech to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken into.

• Reporting verbs such as 'tell', 'say', and 'ask' are used and we can use the word 'that' to introduce the reported part in place of speech marks. (" ")

• Direct and Indirect speech also introduces the concept of 'Reported speech' and 'Reported Verb'.

• Direct and Indirect Speech is used in any instances during written and verbal communication we need to repeat a statement or action of someone.

• It is used to describe what someone said in a direct or indirect approach.

• The two approaches are used depending upon the type of conversation (formal or informal).

• Informal communication, Indirect Speech is preferred and direct Speech is not used unless it is a quote.

• When the quoted speech is reported in the form of a narrative without changing the meaning of the actual quotation/words by the speaker, it is called indirect speech.

• Indirect speech is also known as reported speech/narration.

• When we use direct speech, we use the same words but use quotation marks, For example, Sia said, “I am coming to college. I will be late because there is a lot of traffic now.”

• But when we use reported speech, we usually change the verbs, specific times, and pronouns.

• For example, Sia said that she was coming to college. She said that she would be late because there was a lot of traffic at that time.

Final answer:

Indirect speech is also called reported speech.
