Subject: Direct and Indirect Speech

Разъяснение: Direct and indirect speech is a grammatical term that refers to reporting someone"s words or thoughts. It allows us to convey what someone said or thought without quoting them exactly. In direct speech, we repeat someone"s words using quotation marks. In indirect speech, we report their words without using quotation marks and often have to make changes to verb forms, pronouns, and time expressions.
