What is Direct and Indirect Speech?
In English, there are two main ways to represent what someone has said:
- Direct Speech: This is when you report the exact words someone used. It is enclosed in quotation marks.Example: “I am going to the park,” she said.
- Indirect Speech: This is when you report what someone said without using their exact words. Quotation marks are not used. Often, the tense of the verbs changes.Example: She said that she was going to the park.
