Direct and Indirect Speech or Reported Speech commonly called is a regular form of matter that is often out in the NATIONAL EXAM good for junior high and elementary SMA.Atas so important material Direct and Indirect Speech, then on this occasion the author gives an explanation of Direct Speech   

When we change direct speech into indirect sentences, there are some things that are changing them changes sentence structure, tense, pronoun (pronoun), description of time and place (Adverbs of time and place).(Sentences Direct) we repeat exactly what someone says or what we hear by not changing a single word.Before going further into sub-discussion of the above, it is good there is also understood what he meant Reporting Speech and Reported Speech.      in this paper I will explain the sentence immediately (Direct Speech.)

Reporting Speech is part of the sentence in direct speech are marked by quotation marks (") and at the end by double quotes (").

Direct and indirect speech is used to tell or retell what someone says to others. In Direct Speech (Live Sentence) we repeat exactly what someone says or what we hear without changing a single word.           
For example: My sister said: "I have lost my money".       
In Direct Speech, speech or repeated words placed in quotation marks preceded by a colon after the Reporting Verb. Direct speech (Direct Speech) are commonly used in conversations in 

books, plays, drama, or quotations. If the above Direct speech is converted into Indirect Speech would be: My sister said that she had lost her money.
