DIRECT SPEECH
is saying what someone said without any changes. Here, we use quotation marks to indicate what the person said and also use the exact word of the person
INDIRECT SPEECH
in indirect speech we do not use quotation marks instead we use the conjunction "that" and state the sentence by changing its tense. In indirect speech delivered by changing the format to make it more clear, natural, and efficient for the listener.
Direct speech covered by quotation marks (""). in addition, attribution (asked, says, said, yelled, shouted, replied, ordered) often accompany direct speech.
