There are two ways to report what someone has said: direct speech and indirect (reported) speech. Direct speech uses quotation marks to report the exact words that were said. Indirect speech does not use quotation marks and reports the general idea without exact words. When changing from direct to indirect speech, pronouns, verb tenses, and time/place expressions may need to change. For example, changing "They are leaving today" to "Sam said that they were leaving the same day."
