Explanation:

Direct speech is a sentence in which someone's exact words are relayed. It is usually marked by quotation marks.

Indirect speech (also called reported speech) relays someone's words without directly quoting them.

When you want to convert direct speech into indirect speech, you need to be careful about several things. Quotation marks are not used in indirect speech. Pronouns are often changed, and we need to be careful about the tenses, as well. If the reporting verb (e.g. to say, tell, ask) is in the past tense, the tense used in the main sentence needs to be changed:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
