Direct speech is said in First person whilst indirect speech is when you say that in third person.
The present tense changes to past tense.
Example :
Direct speech -
Ram said, "I'm going to the market."
Indirect speech -
Ram told that he was going to the market.

Answer:
- There are two main ways of reporting.
- These are direct speech and indirect or reported speech.
- When we use direct speech, we quote the actual word spoken by a person.
- In writing, this is shown within quotation marks.
For example,
" I am so happy to see you again" said Ms.Reeta.
- When we use indirect speech, we do not quote the actual words spoken by a person.
- But convey their meaning in our own words.
- The connector that is used to introduce indirect words.
For example,
Varsha said that the cake was delicious.
