About this document

Understanding Direct Discourse by Lee is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses the differences between direct discourse and indirect discourse in writing. Direct discourse refers to the exact words of a speaker, usually enclosed in quotation marks and preceded by a verb like "said." Indirect discourse drops the quotation marks and rearranges the words, reporting the essence of what was said without using the exact words. Examples are provided to illustrate direct and indirect discourse.
