Question

Do you speak English covert into indirect speech​

Answer 1

He asked, do I speak English?
Explanation:
There are two types of speech in English grammar i.e. direct and indirect.
Indirect speech is the type of reported speech in which the main message of the speaker is conveyed without keeping the original order.
Direct speech is also known as quoted speech as that reports the words uttered in the original form.
In an indirect speech the words are not written in the order they were uttered by the original speaker.
Unlike indirect speech, direct speech is written with inverted commas.
The original speaker is mentioned in the sentence to report whose words are being written.
