What are the 4 types of reported speech?
The reported speech can be Assertive/Declarative, Imperative, Interrogative, and Exclamatory.
What is an example of a direct speech?
Direct speech is a sentence in which the exact words spoken are reproduced in speech marks (also known as quotation marks or inverted commas). For example: "You'll never guess what I've just seen!" said Sam, excitedly. "What's that?" asked Louise.
What are examples of indirect speech?
Indirect speech is speech which tells you what someone said, but does not use the person's actual words: for example, 'They said you didn't like it', 'I asked her what her plans were', and ' Citizens complained about the smoke'.
