Direct speech:

• Direct speech is a type of written or spoken communication that is limited to one person speaking at one time and one person listening at one time.
• Typically, it is used in three basic ways: to make the point in a single sentence; to make a series of points in a longer, more complex sentence; to introduce a new topic.  
• Direct speech can also be used to express anger, fear, and other emotions.  

Indirect speech:

• Indirect speech is a grammatical construction that occurs when a verb is followed by another verb in the same sentence.
• The best way to describe indirect speech in English grammar is to say that it is a "whited sep" between two words that are actually part of the same syllable.
• For example: "I know you don't know what the word 'odd' means, but they've got a word for that."
