Explicação:

Direct speech (discurso direto) – é quando repetimos, exatamente, o que outra pessoa falou.

- James said ''I’m very late''

 James disse ''Estou muito atrasado''

- He said  ''You need to study more''

 Ele disse ''Você precisa estudar mais''

Reported speech/Indirect Speech (discurso indireto) - é quando repetimos,  com as nossas palavras,  o que a pessoa falou. As duas frases, normalmente,  são ligadas por ''that''.

- James said that he was very late.

  James disse que ele estava muito atrasado.

-  He said (that) I needed to pay more attention.

  Ele disse que eu precisava prestar mais atenção
