Direct & Indirect Speech

Direct Speech
Direct speech refers to reproducing another person’s exact words or saying exactly what someone has said (sometimes called quoted speech). Here what a person says appears within quotation marks (“….”) and should be word for word.
Example :
My father said,”I’ll go to Bali tomorrow”.
He said, “open the door,Rahmad”
Jack said,“Watch your step,jim!”.
Heru said, “Don’t forget to mail my latter,Devi.”
Indirect Speech
Indirect speech reproducing the idea of another person’s words that doesn’t use question mark to enclose what the person said and it doesn’t have to be word for word. Indirect speech is sometimes called reported speech.
Example :
My father said that he’d go to Bali The next day.
He told Rahmat to open the door.
Jack warned jim to watch his step.
Heru reminded Devi not to forget to mail his latter.
