What is Direct and Indirect Speech Explained about?

The document discusses direct and indirect speech. Direct speech uses quotation marks to report what someone said word for word. Indirect speech does not use quotation marks and the tense usually changes. When changing from direct to indirect speech, the tense moves back by one (e.g. from present to past). Pronouns and other context references like time and place expressions may also need to change to fit the context. Verbs like "said", "told", and "asked" are commonly used in indirect speech.
