Bentez. Direct and indirect speech (basic)
2. What are direct and indirect speech? They are the two ways
that are used by us for sharing information with people who we have
a conversation with.
3. Direct speech is when we talk about a fact that is happening
in the moment or a fact that has happened already or also facts
that could happen in the future. But it is just when we are the
people that say the first message and this message can be told in
any time tense. The direct speech is when somebody talk with
someone about something, directly. When do we use direct
speech?
