Direct and Indirect Speech
Direct speech tells exactly what words were said by a person. Speech marks are used to show that it is exactly what was said.
“I love the beach,” said the girl.
Indirect speech tells the idea of what a person said. The exact words are not given and so speech marks are not used.
The girl said that she loved the beach.
