Direct Speech- repeats exactly what someone said or quotes the same words spoken. Direct Speech has quotation marks like this ( " ).
Reported Speech- (Inderect Speech) is narrating or retelling what the speaker said in the past and so there are changes in the actual words. Reported Speech does not use quotation marks.
