Speech

Hello,

1. She said that she was hungry.

The part in red is called the 'reporting clause' and the part in blue is called 'reported clause'.

The whole sentence is called a complex sentence or an indirect speech.

Is the above statement correct?

2. She said, 'she is hungry.'

What would we call the part in green and in pink?

Thanks.
