Direct speech: the literal, exact words someone says “I am very angry with you”
Indirected or reported speech: when you tell someone what somebody else said. He said he was very angry with me.
What changes: - Tense (backshifting) - Pronouns ( I, we, you) - Pronouns (here → there, this → that, these → those) - Adverbials of time (yesterday → the day before, tomorrow→ the following/ next day)
