Direct speech is a sentence that describes the direct speech of a person. The sentence marked read: "....".
 Indirect speech is a sentence which retells utterances someone indirectly.

     I: Cherry told to us that she had to go then

3. D: “Bring me a lemon tea” said Lady to Gaga.
     I: Lady asked Gaga to bring her a lemon tea.

4. D: Rachel tells Abel “I will pick you up at seven o’clock tonight”
     I: Rachel told to Abel that he will pick her up at seven o’clock tonight

5. D: She said, “I am happy now”

Conditional sentences are also known as conditional clauses or if clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of conditional sentences.

The type 1 conditional refers to a possible condition and its probable result. These sentences are based on facts, and they are used to make statements about the real world, and about particular situations. We often use such sentences to give warnings. In type 1 conditional sentences, the time is the present or future and the situation is real.

Examples:
1. If you ask me, I will response it.
2. If I meet him, I will introduce myself..

The type 2 conditional refers to an unlikely or hypothetical condition and its probable result. These sentences are not based on the actual situation. In type 2 conditional sentences, the time is now or any time and the situation is hypothetical.

Examples:
1. If you didn’t tell me, I will response it.
2. If it rained tomorrow, I would sleep all day

The type 3 conditional refers to an impossible condition in the past and its probable result in the past. These sentences are truly hypothetical and unreal, because it is now too late for the condition or its result to exist. There is always some implication of regret with type 3 conditional sentences. The reality is the opposite of, or contrary to, what the sentence expresses. In type 3 conditional sentences, the time is the past and the situation is hypothetical.

Examples:
1. If you hadn”t gone, you wouldn’t have got an accident.
2. If you had remembered to invite me, I would have attended your party.
