REPORTED SPEECH - created from Mind Map

We use reported speech to tell someone what somebody else had said but not with the exact same words.

We can confuse the reported speech with the direct speech. But the difference between this two is that the ''direct speech'' use the exact same words. EXAMPLE. Ximena said: ''I will go to the supermarket ¿Do you need something?''.
