Understanding Reported Speech Types

Reported speech is used to represent the speech of other people or oneself at a different time. There are two main types: direct speech uses quotation marks to report the exact words, while indirect speech normally changes the verb tenses and pronouns to reflect when the words were spoken rather than the exact words. An example is provided where direct speech uses quotation marks and indirect speech rephrases what was said without using the exact words.

Reported speech

Reported speech is how we represent the speech of other people or what we


ourselves say. There are two main types of reported speech: direct speech
and indirect speech.
Mix
1.
Direct speech is a word-to-word repetition of what the speaker or writer has
conveyed. In other words, it is a way in which you can report the exact
words of the speaker.

indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change

2. the tense of the words spoken.
