Direct and indirect speech
1. Direct
speech is the sentence quoted directly
from the words of someone without changing the words.
Direct Speech
This sentence is divided into 2 parts:
A. Sentence report (reporting sentence)
B. Sentences reported (reported sentence)
Consider the following example:
1. Budi says, "I go to school everyday"
(Budi said, "I go to school every day")
2. She asked, "where is my book" (He
asked, "where my book?")
In the example no.1 said Budi says is reporting
sentence and said "I go to school" is reported sentence. if the
sample no.2 guess where the reporting sentence and where the reported sentence,
you certainly can.
There are several things that must be considered in
direct sentences:
- Reported sentence to be located between quotation
marks ("......")
- Reporting sentence can be in front or behind an
example: "I go to school everyday," says Budi
2. Indirect speech is a sentence spoken delivery
of what a person in which there is a change of words but does not change the
intent.
Indirect Speech
Indirectly in the form of sentences between
reporting sentence by sentence reported connected by and do not use quotation
marks.
example:
direct speech: Budi says, "I go to school
everyday" (Budi said "I go to school every day")
Indirect sentences: Budi says that he goes to work
everyday (Budi said that he went to school every day)
The
following will be explained in connection with the change of direct speech into
indirect speech:
a) If the sentence has a direct reporting sentence
in the present tense simple present tense, future tense and present perfect
tense is the sentence that made sentences reported indirect unchanged
fixed-simple present tense.
b)If the sentence in direct speech reporting in the
form of simple future tense or present perfect tense is used as the reported
sentence of indirect sentence will be amended form time.
