Direct
and Indirect Speech
Direct
or quoted speech is a sentence(or several sentences) that reports speech or
thought in its original forn, as phrased by the original speaker. It is usually
enclosed in quotation marks.
Indirect
speech, also called reported speech or indirect discourse, is a meansof
expressing the content odf statements, question or other utterances, without
quoting them expilicitly as is done in direct speech.
From
the above example the difference between both is that the direct speech is
always contain inverted commas to mark off the exact words of the speaker and
in the indirect speech there are no
inverted commas

When
using direct speech in your writing you need to use the
correct punctuation.
- · The exact words spoken must be enclosed in speech marks.
- · The first word of the speech must begin with a capital letter.
- · The words in the speech marks must be separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma.
- · You must use a new line when a new speaker begins to speak.
