The document discusses the difference between direct and reported speech, and provides steps to change direct speech into reported speech. Specifically, it notes that direct speech uses quotation marks while reported speech does not. It then lists the four steps to change direct speech to reported speech: 1) remove quotation marks, 2) add "that" after the verb, 3) change pronouns, and 4) change verbs to the appropriate tense. An example is provided where the direct speech "I don't have a gun" is changed to the reported speech "he didn't have a gun."
