Answer:
Hi Raj,
When we quote the actual words of a speaker, it is called Direct Speech.
Example: Mother said, "If you don't hurry up, you will be late for the summer camp"
When we report what the speaker has said without quoting his exact words, it is called Indirect or Reported Speech.
Example: Mother said that if I/we don't hurry up, I/ we would be late for the summer camp.
