What is Understanding Direct and Reported Speech about?
Direct speech reports the exact words spoken, using quotation marks. Reported speech does not use quotation marks and changes pronouns, verb tenses if needed, and sometimes word order. It typically introduces who spoke and that they said something, omitting "that" if it sounds better. Reported speech adjusts the speech to fit reporting it after the fact.
