Question

what is reported speech, with example​

Answer 1

Reported speech:

When we report someone’s words we can do it in two ways. We can use direct speech with quotation marks (“I work in a bank”), or we can use reported speech (He said he worked in a bank.)

In reported speech the tenses, word-order and pronouns may be different from those in the original sentence.

Example:

Direct:Mohan said " I m going to school".

INdirect: Mohan said that he was going to school.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Reported speech is a means of expressing the content of statements, questions or other utterances, without quoting them explicitly as is done in direct speech. For example, He said "I'm coming" is direct speech, whereas He said he was coming is indirect speech.
