Direct speech repeats or quotes the exact words spoken.
When we use direct speech in writing, we place the words spoken between quotation marks (" ") and there is no change in these words.
We may be reporting something that's being said NOW.

Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken.
We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words.
