Direct Speech / Quoted Speech

Mengatakan apa kata seseorang disebut pidato langsung (terkadang disebut pidato dikutip)
Berikut apa seseorang mengatakan muncul dalam tanda kutip ("...") dan harus kata demi kata

For example:

She said, "Today's lesson is on presentations."

Indirect Speech / Reported Speech

Pidato langsung (terkadang disebut pidato dilaporkan), tidak menggunakan tanda kutip untuk menyertakan apa yang orang katakan dan tidak harus kata demi kata.
Saat melaporkan pidato tegang biasanya berubah. Hal ini karena ketika kita menggunakan pidato dilaporkan, kita biasanya berbicara tentang waktu di masa lalu (karena sudah jelas orang yang berbicara awalnya berbicara di masa lalu). Kata kerja karena itu biasanya harus di masa lalu juga.

For example:

Direct speech	Indirect speech
"I'm going to school", he said.	He said that he was go to school
