Pengertian dan contoh direct speech dan indirect speech

  • Indirect : She says that he goes to school everyday.
  • Direct : Doni said: “I am doing my job here now.”
  • Indirect : Doni said that he was doing his job there then.
  • Kalimat Perintah ( Command )

* Positive Command

Dalam pola ini kalimat pengantar dinyatakan dengan kata kerja : tell, ask, advise, etc. Diikuti oleh “to infinitive“.

Contoh Kalimat Positif Command :

  • Direct : The teacher said to me : “open your book”
  • Indirect : The teacher asked me to open my book

* Negative Command

Contoh Kalimat Negative Command :

  • Direct : Father asked me : “ Don’t go out”
  • Indirect : Father asked me no to go out.
  • Kalimat Pertanyaan ( Question )

Bila pertanyaan langsung dalam bentuk YES dan NO answer maka IF atau WHETHER sebagai pendukung antara introductory phrase dan reported words.

Kalimat pengantar untuk pola ialah :

  • Direct : the man asked me :’’can you speak English?
  • Indirect : the man asked me if/whether I could speak English

Bila pertanyaan menggunakan kata-kata Tanya seperti : where, when, what, why, who, whose, how, etc. maka kata-kata tersebut berfungsi sebagai penghubung antara introductory pharse dan reported words, dengan pola sbb:

He asked me + Question Words+reported words(positive)

Contoh Kalimat:

  • Direct : we asked the man :’where do you live?”
  • Indirect : we asked the man where he live.
