\Direct speech, or direct speech, expresses a person's phrase verbatim, it is a quote or transfer of the essence of a phrase said by another person, on their behalf.
As in Russian, direct speech in English is framed by quotation marks, but "upper" quotation marks are used, called English double quotes. Instead of a colon before the author's words at the beginning or a comma and a dash at the end, English uses a single simple comma. The dot at the end of the sentence is placed before the closing quotation mark, not after it, as in Russian.
