More to Know.

Direct speech is used when the words spoken or written down are actual words spoken by some person: as:

For example

• He said, " It is raining today".

Indirect speech (or Reported) speech is used when a person reports direct speech, that is, he reports orally or writers down the words in an appropriate tense and refers to the original speaker or writers in the third person, making other necessary changes; as:

For example

• He said that it was raining that day.

In reported speech make sure of the following points.

• who is being reported?
• The time of reporting.

This two points determine the necessary changes in tense, adverbs and pronouns.
