Direct speech (sometimes called quoted speech) is saying exactly what someone has said. Here what a person says appears within quotation marks ("...") and should be word for word.
Example of direct speech:
- "My name is Onew", he said.
- Kwangmin said, "I've been teaching English for seven years."
- Minho said, "It's cold."
- She said, "The lesson had already started when he arrived."
Indirect speech (sometimes called reported speech), doesn't use quotation marks to enclose what the person said and it doesn't have to be word for word.
Example of indirect speech:
- He said his name is Onew
- Kwangmin said he had been teaching English for seven years.
- Minho said it was cold.
- She said the lesson had already started when he arrived.
