Объяснение: Прямая речь и косвенная речь — это способы передачи чужих слов или мыслей. В прямой речи мы цитируем точные слова говорящего, а в косвенной речи мы передаем смысл сказанного собственными словами.
Прямая речь отделяется от основной части предложения запятой или двоеточием, а заканчивается закрывающими кавычками. При передаче прямой речи в косвенной речи используется глагол говорения (сказал, ответил, заметил и т.д.), и мы изменяем форму глаголов, местоимений и времен.
