More Information on Direct Speech and Indirect Speech:-

Direct Speech:

In Direct Speech the exact words of the speaker are used in conversation. When using Direct Speech, a comma comes either after or before the reporting verb, 'said'. It is called Direct Speech because the exact words of the speaker are used in conversation.

Indirect Speech:

When we report what another person has said, it is called Indirect or Reported Speech. Inverted commas are not used in Indirect/Reported Speech. Here, we usually do not use the speaker's exact words.

Examples of Direct and Indirect Speech:

a) He said, 'I am happy.'(Direct Speech)

b) He said that he was happy.(Indirect Speech)

c) I said to him, 'You are intelligent.'(Direct Speech)

d) I told him that he was intelligent.(Indirect Speech)
