5. Reported speech
- Use:
Reported speech is simply when we tell somebody what someone else said. You can do
this in your writing, or in speech. Reported speech is very different from direct speech,
which is when you show what somebody said in the exact way that they said it. In
reported speech though, you do not need to quote somebody directly.
