Penjelasan Direct dan Indirect Speech (Reported Speech) - Direct dan
Indirect Speech merupakan materi grammar bahasa Inggris yang banyak diajarkan
di jenjang SMP dan SMA. Direct dan Indirect Speech atau yang biasa disebut
Reported Speech ini menjadi langganan bentuk soal yang sering keluar di UN baik
untuk SMP dan SMA.
Atas
dasar begitu pentingnya materi Direct dan Indirect Speech ini, maka pada kesempatan
kali ini penulis memberikan penjelasan mengenai Direct dan Inderct tersebut
dengan lengkap kepada pengunjung sekalian. Semoga bermanfaat.
Direct
dan Indirect Speech
Ketika
kita merubah kalimat langsung menjadi kalimat tidak langsung, ada beberapa hal
yang mengalami perubahan diantaranya perubahan struktur kalimat, tensis,
pronoun (kata ganti orang), keterangan waktu dan tempat (Adverbs of time and
place).
Sebelum melangkah jauh ke sub-pembahasan tersebut di atas, alangkah baiknya ada juga mengerti tentang apa yang dimaksud Reporting Speech dan Reported Speech.
Reporting Speech adalah bagian dalam kalimat direct speech yang di tandai oleh tanda petik (") dan di akhiri oleh tanda petik (").
- He said, "I have a present for you in my bag."
- He asked me, "why do you come late."
Sedangkan
Reported Speech adalah baigan awal dari kalimat direct speech.
- He said, "I have a present for you in my bag."
- He asked me, "why do you come late."
Untuk
itu, pada artikel ini penulis sengaja membagi beberpa sub-penjelasan mengenai
direct dan indirect speech berdasakan perubahan-perbuahan di atas.
1.
Perubahan Stuktur kalimat
Jika
kita lihat pada kalimat direct speech, terdapat ciri-ciri yang identik yaitu
terdapat tanda petik ("). Tada petik tersebut merupakan cara yang sering
digunakan untuk membedakan mana yang direct atau yang indirect.
Ketika
klimat direct speech tersebut dirubah menjadi kalimat indirect speech, tanda
petik tersebut pun dihilangkan atau digantikan dengan kata "that"
atau "to" (untuk kalimat perintah). Misalnya:
No

Perubahan
struktur kalimat juga terjadi jika pada direct speech menggunakan kalimat
tanya, maka akan dirubah menjadi kalimat afirmatif (berita).

question" maka akan dirubah menjadi if/whether. Contohnya:
