Here is a good webpage that explains what reported speech is:
http://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/reported-speech.html
There are two ways in which you can report (write) what someone has said or asked: direct address and indirect address.
Direct --
She asked me, "Do you like science fiction movies?"
He told me, "My sister is visiting me this week."
Indirect --
She asked me if I like science fiction movies.
He told me that his sister was visiting him this week.
What is reported speech?
What are the different types of reported speech?
Please help me A.S.A.P please and thank you :)
