Bagaimana cari mengubah direct speech menjadi indirect speech?

Bobo.id - Tahukah teman-teman apa itu direct speech dan indirect speech?

Teman-teman banyak menemukan contoh direct speech dan indirect speech dalam percakapan sehari-hari maupun pada buku, lo

Direct speech atau quoted speech merupakan sebuah kutipan langsung dari ucapan seseorang yang ditandai dengan quotation mark (").

Sebaliknya, indirect speech atau reported speech tidak mengutip secara langsung melainkan mendeskripsikan ucapan tersebut dengan pola kalimat yang berbeda.

Untuk lebih jelasnya, yuk simak contoh penggunaan dari direct dan indirect speech di bawah ini!

Menggunakan Pergantian Tenses

Mengubah direct speech ke indirect speech dan sebaliknya ini perlu dilakukan pergantian tenses.

Tetapi ada pengecualian, yaitu jika kalimat pertama pada direct speech merupakan present tense atau future tense maka tidak perlu ada pergantian tenses pada indirect speech.

Contoh penggunaan:

a. Kalimat Direct Speech

- She says, "She is ill."

- Nia says, "I go to school every morning."

- She said, "I cook ramen every weekend."

- He said, "They are coming."

- Lina said, "Mother has watered all the flowers."

b. Kalimat Indirect Speech

- She says that she is ill.

- Nia says that she goes to school every morning.

- She said that she cooked ramen every weekend.

- He said that they were coming.

- Lina said that mother had watered all the flowers.

Menggunakan Pergantian Waktu

Jika dalam direct speech terdapat keterangan waktu seperti now, tomorrow, today, yesterday, dan tonight maka pada indirect speech keterangan waktu tersebut harus diganti.

Contoh:

a. Direct Speech

- Father said, "I need to sleep now."

- Anya said, "My brother is sick today."

- Mother said, "A guest will visit us today."

- Jessica said, "Lucas and I will go to the cinema tomorrow."

- Linda said, "I ate kebab yesterday."

b. Indirect Speech

- Father said that he need to sleep then.

- Anya said that her brother was sick that day.

- Mother said that a guest will visit us that day.

- Jessica said that she and Lucas will go to the cinema on the day after.

Kalimat Perintah

Untuk menuliskan kalimat perintah pada indirect speech tentunya berbeda. Biasanya kalimat perintah dapat berisikan saran, permohonan, permintaan, atau pesan.

Contoh:

a. Direct Speech

- She said to him, "Bring your book, please."
