Chapter 010 : Direct and Indirect Speech

🔹 Apa Itu Direct dan Indirect Speech?

  • Direct Speech (kalimat langsung) adalah cara menyampaikan perkataan atau ucapan seseorang dengan mengutip persis kata-katanya dan biasanya menggunakan tanda kutip (“...”).

  • Indirect Speech (kalimat tidak langsung) adalah cara menyampaikan kembali ucapan seseorang dengan memparafrasekan tanpa menggunakan tanda kutip.


🔹 Contoh Direct  dan Indirect Speech

Direct SpeechIndirect Speech
She said, “I am tired.”She said that she was tired.
He said, “I will come tomorrow.”He said that he would come the next day.
They asked, “Where is the bank?”They asked where the bank was.

🔹 Perubahan dalam Indirect Speech

  1. Menghilangkan tanda kutip dan kata pengantar seperti “said”, “asked”, dll.

  2. Mengubah pronoun sesuai dengan subjek kalimat utama.

    • Contoh: “I” menjadi “he”/“she”/“they” tergantung pembicara.

  3. Mengubah tense (waktu kata kerja) ke bentuk yang lebih lampau (backshifting), jika kalimat pembuka memakai kata kerja di past tense.


🔹 Backshifting Tenses 

Direct Speech (Simple)Indirect Speech (Backshifted)
Present Simple (am/is/are)Past Simple (was/were)
Present Continuous (is doing)Past Continuous (was doing)

🔹 Kalimat Tanya dalam Indirect Speech

  • Jika kalimat tanya ya/tidak (yes/no question), gunakan if/whether.
    Contoh:
    Direct: “Are you coming?” → Indirect: He asked if I was coming.

  • Jika kalimat tanya wh-questions (who, what, where, why, how), tetap gunakan kata tanya tersebut.
    Contoh:
    Direct: “Where do you live?” → Indirect: She asked where I lived.
