dengan istilah Direct and Indirect Speech. Reported Speech adalah kalimat tidak

menceritakan kembali pendapat atau pembicaraan seseorang kepada orang lain dalam
waktu yang berbeda. Sedangkan kalimat langsung yang diucapkan pembicara adalah
quoted speech (Direct speech).

Macam-macam Reported speech, Direct and Indirect speech terbagi menjadi tiga
bagian. Berikut saya akan jabarkan pengertian dan contoh dari masing-masing bentuk.
1. Statement (Pernyataan)
Dalam kalimat pernyataan umumnya selalu menggunakan kata penghubung 'that' yang
ditambahkan setelah Main clause (kalimat utama) pada bentuk Indirect speechnya.
Typical direct speech untuk statements kita bisa menggunakan : say/said, tell/told,
mention/mentioned, inform/informed.

English." English.
2 She said, "I woke up early." He said that he had woken up early.

Catatan : Dalam Reported speech say atau tell mempunyai arti yang sama. Namun
dalam penerpannya menurut Grammar yang benar mereka berbeda, sebagai contoh.
Iqbal : "I will be late".
Reported speech :
Iqbal said (that) he would be late.
OR
Iqbal told me (that) he would be late.
Iqbal told (that) he would be late.
2. Question (Pertanyaan)
Dalam kalimat pertanyaan terdapat beberapa hal yang harus diingat untuk memahami
pola perubahan Direct speech (berupa pertanyaan) menjadi kalimat Indirect speech.
Perubahan pada indirect question disesuaikan dengan versi direct question-nya. Typical
direct speech untuk questions kita bisa menggunakan : ask/asked, want to
know/wanted to know. Untuk lebih jelasnya perhatikan contoh berikut ini.
A. Reported speech in Yes/No Question
Ketika pola kalimat tanya langsung yang digunakan berupa Yes/No Question maka
akan terjadi perubahan pada kalimat tak langsungnya dengan menambahkan kata
penghubung "If atau Whether" yang digunakan sebagai konektornya (pengganti that).
Sedangkan pola perubahan tense yang digunakan sama dengan Direct statement.
