What is Direct Speech?
The message of the speaker is conveyed or reported his own actual
words without any change. It is also known as quoted speech. The
exact message of the speaker is enclosed by quotation marks “…”
Examples:
The boy said, ‘I ate pancakes.”
The mother ordered him, “Clean the house.”
“Is everything clear? Asked John.

It is typically accompanied by a reporting clause or signal phrase. This

type of speech is commonly observed in novels and scripts that contain
dialogues or conversation between characters.
Direct speech commonly has reporting clause, reporting verb, reported
clause and reported verb.

Reporting clause
Example: The boy said, “I ate pancakes”.
Reporting verb
Example: The boy said, “I ate pancakes.”
Reported clause
Example: The boy said, “I ate pancakes.”
Reported verb
Example: The said, “I ate pancakes.”

What is Reported Speech?

It is known as Indirect speech. It is a report on what someone else said or
wrote without using that person’s exact words. Unlike direct speech, it
does not have quotation marks.

Examples:
The boy said that he had eaten pancakes.
The mother ordered him to clean the house.
John asked if everything was clear.
Basic Rules in Changing (Direct Speech (DS) to Reported Speech (RS)

1. Changes in the Person of the Pronouns

1st person pronouns in a reported clause are always changed according

to the subject of the reporting clause.
Example:
DS: Anna said, “I am happy.”
RS: Anna said that she was happy.

2nd person pronouns in a reported clause are always changed according

to the object of the reporting clause.
Example:
DS: Joy said to Paul. “You passed the exam.”
RS: Joy told Paul that he had passed the exam.

3rd person pronouns in a reported clause are not changed.

Example:
DS: Joana said, “She looks sad.”
RS: Joana said she looked sad.

2. Changes in Verb Tense

Reporting Clause with a Present or Future Tense Verb

If the reporting clause is in present tense or future tense, then
there is no change required in the verb of the reported clause.
This verb could be in any tense.
Example:
DS: He says, “I am going to the library.”
RS: He says that he is going to the library.

Reporting Clause with a Past Tense Verb in Direct Speech

Occasionally, we do not need to change the present tense into
the past if the information in direct speech is still true.
Example:
Direct speech:
She said, “The sky is blue.”
Reported speech:
She said (that) the sky is/was blue.
If the reporting verb is inpast tense, then the reported verb will be
changed, depending on its tense.
3. Other significant word changes from direct speech to reported speech.

 For yes/no questions, if or whether is used in the place of that

DS: Michael said to Ana, “Will you attend the flag ceremony?”
RS: Michael asked to Ana if she would attend the flag ceremony.

 For WH-questions, you are not required to add an “if” or any

other word.
DS: My little brother said to the waitress, “What are you doing?”
RS: My little brother asked the waitress what she was doing.

 For imperatives as commands, the reporting verb said or said

to is changed to ordered or commanded.

DS: The librarian said to me, “Keep quiet.”

RS: The librarian ordered me to keep quiet.
  For imperatives as request, the reporting verb said or told is
changed to requested.

DS: He told me, “Please call me.”

RS: He requested me to call him.
