We use direct speech to report what exactly has been said. If we write the speech down, the words will usually appear in quotation marks. However, we often prefer to use reported speech or indirect speech to report the meaning of what has been said without using the exact words. Now let’s look at a sentence: She said,‘I have been writing a book on the history of China.’ If you want to tell this sentence to someone else, what will you report? We can change it into: She said she had been writing a book on the history of China. 1.
