Direct and indirect/reported speech
Direct speech is when you write exactly what the person says/has said and you use speech marks.Direct speech: " I want an apple," said Fred. (First person present tense)
Reported/indirect speech is when you report what someone has said but don't quote them.Reported/indirect speech: Fred said that he wanted an apple. (Third person past tense. Often uses the word that)
Direct: "Do you want to play?" asked Emily.
Reported/indirect: Emily asked me if/whether I wanted to play.

On Sunday 24th June at 5pm Mark Wrong, a tourist from France was happily taking pictures of the breath taking views of Venezuela when he spotted something odd on his images.

"I wanted to get my own pictures, I wanted to see some of the area that others hadn't seen. I wasn't expecting to make such a discovery." Mark told our reporter.
