Answer:

1. Direct or quoted speech is spoken or written text that reports speech or thought in its original form phrased by the original speaker. In narrative, it is usually enclosed in quotation marks, but it can be enclosed in guillemets in some languages. The cited speaker either is mentioned in the inquit or is implied.

2. When we want to report what someone said without speech marks and without necessarily using exactly the same words, we can use indirect speech (also called reported speech). For example: Direct speech: “We're quite cold in here.” Indirect speech: They say (that) they're cold.

3. It helps give a good portrayal of the characters. Direct speech reveals the tone and moods of the characters. Indirect speech, if not used properly, creates a distance between the utterance and the reader's perception of it.
