Direct & Indirect MDCAT Quiz: Understanding the difference between direct and indirect speech is an essential part of MDCAT English preparation. In direct speech, one uses the actual words spoken; in indirect speech, paraphrase what was said, usually changing the structure or tense of the verb. These are concepts that, if understood, will enhance your grammar and comprehension skills—the most important ingredients to doing well on the MDCAT exam. You will understand when and how to use direct and indirect speech and the rules that apply to them; thus, your sentence structure will be improved, and you will make more accurate responses.
