Direct speech is when the exact words that someone says are written.
Inverted commas, or speech marks, are used when writing direct speech. The inverted commas go around what is said within a sentence. Other speech punctuation is also needed. Punctuation is needed at the end of the direct speech before the inverted comma, and a comma is used after the reporting clause if this comes before the direct speech.
The reporting clause is the short clause that can come before or after the direct speech that states who was talking. It can also show how the speech was said.
