BEFORE STARTING... WHAT IS THE REPORTED SPEECH?
Reported speech is how we represent the speech of other people or what we ourselves say. There are two main types of reported speech: direct speech and indirect speech.
Direct speech repeats the exact words the person used, or how we remember their words:
Nadal said, “I didn’t realise it was midnight.”
In indirect speech, the original speaker’s words are changed.
Nadal said he hadn’t realised it was midnight.
