Direct speech
Direct speech refers to reproducing another person's exact words or saying exactly what someone has said (sometimes called quoted speech)
This an example of direct speech :
-) She said, "Today's lesson is on presentations"
-) "Today's lesson is on presentations," she said
Indirect speech
Indirect speech, doesn’t use quotation marks to enclose what the person said and it doesn’t have to be word for word.

“I’m going to the cinema”, he said he was going to the cinema.
Tense change
• When reporting speech the tense usually changes. Because when we use reported speech, we are usually talking about time in the past. Note : the reporting verbs that are usually used to report imperative sentence are : Tell, other command, ask, warn, remind.
