ScanSolve AI Answer

Answer

Direct speech is the exact words spoken by someone, enclosed in quotation marks. Reported speech (or indirect speech) is a paraphrase of what someone said, without using their exact words and often changing the tense and pronouns.

For example:

  • Direct speech: She said, "I am going to the store."
  • Reported speech: She said that she was going to the store.
