Difference Between Direct and Indirect Speech

direct-vs-indirect-speechIn a direct speech, we use inverted commas to highlight the exact words of the speaker while reporting them. On the other hand, in an indirect speech, as its name suggests, it involves reporting what a person said, without exactly quoting them. So, in an indirect speech we do not use inverted commas to highlight the original statement of the speaker; instead, it is just reported using own words. Let’s have a look at the examples to understand the two:
Direct: Mary said, “She is going to the US next month.”
Indirect: Mary said that she was going to the US the following month.
Direct: The sports teacher said, “Run fast, boys.”
Indirect: The sports teacher asked the boys to run fast.
