Instead of writing dialogue directly, authors might use reported speech to convey what characters said.

!!!!

In reported speech, punctuation can vary depending on whether the reporting clause comes before or after the reported speech. If the reporting clause comes first, it is often followed by a comma before the reported speech begins. It is usually enclosed in quotation marks. However, when the reported speech is transformed into indirect speech, quotation marks are not used.
