What is Direct and Indirect Speech Explained about?

Direct and indirect speech differ in their use of quotation marks and changes that are made to pronouns, tenses, and time/place references. [1] Pronouns are changed according to who is speaking, tenses are typically changed to the past form in indirect speech, and time/place references are shifted to reflect when the speech occurred rather than when it is being reported. [2] These changes are necessary to report what someone said without directly quoting them. [3]
