📌 Direct Speech

Direct speech repeats the exact words of the speaker using quotation marks. (Direct speech বক্তার ঠিক কথাগুলো উদ্ধৃতি চিহ্ন সহ পুনরাবৃত্তি করে।)

📝 She said, "I am tired."
সে বলল, "আমি ক্লান্ত।"

📌 Indirect Speech

Indirect speech reports the meaning without quotation marks, changing pronouns, tenses, and time expressions. (Indirect speech উদ্ধৃতি চিহ্ন ছাড়া অর্থটি জানায়, সর্বনাম, কাল এবং সময়ের অভিব্যক্তি পরিবর্তন করে।)

📝 She said that she was tired.
সে বলল যে সে ক্লান্ত ছিল।
