difference between direct speech. and indirect speech with examples ??

There are two ways of reporting the words of a speaker. If we are reporting the exact words of the speaker, we put it in quotes. This is called direct speech. For example, Sheetal said, "I am not going to the market tomorrow".

When we report what a person said without quoting his exact words, we use the indirect speech.For example, Sheetal said that she was not going to the market the next day.

There are two ways to speak. One can choose to speak either in direct speech or in indirect speech. Generally, the conversions from one type of speech to another is done in order to teach the nuances of language to the students. Both the speeches are equally correct and students need to know both of them.
