Question

what is meant by direct and indirect speech ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Direct speech describes when something is being repeated exactly as it was – usually in between a pair of inverted commas. ... Indirect speech will still share the same information – but instead of expressing someone's comments or speech by directly repeating them, it involves reporting or describing what was said.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Direct speech is a sentence in which the exact words spoken are reproduced in speech marks (also known as quotation marks or inverted commas).
• Indirect speech is speech which tells you what someone said, but does not use the person's actual words.
