1.Direct speech:−
What a man says is kept as it is within a quotation (" ") marks. A sentence containing such a quote is called the DIRECT SPEECH or DIRECT NARRATION.
⟹ The direct speech is always enclosed with inverted commas (" ")
⟹ There is no change in words.
Example : We said, "Long live the leader."
2.Indirect speech:−
Sometimes the exact speech of a speaker is not repeated but reported. Such a speech is called INDIRECT SPEECH or INDIRECT NARRATION.
⟹ We change a sentence in indirect speech without using first person's actual words.
⟹ This is also known as reported speech.
⟹ We change it into the past tense.
Example : We wished that the leader might live long.
