DIRECT AND INDIRECT

DIRECT AND INDIRECT

Percakapan langsung (direct speech) adalah bentuk kalimat langsung. Kalimat ini biasa disebut juga quoted speech
Percakapan langsung dilakukan dengan menggunakan perkataan seseorang sesuai dengan yang ia ucapkan.
Kita gunakan tanda petik untuk mengatakan kalimat yang kita kutip, contoh :
a) “Let`s celebrate,” she said,”our victory.”
b) “May I join your?” he asked
c) “I haven`t played that game.”
d) “I was taking a bath”
e) “We had taken the wrong turn.”

Percakapan tidak langsung (indirect speech) biasa disebut juga reported speech. Dalam menyatakan perkataan orang lain biasanya kita tidak menggunakan kalimat yang diucapkannya (direct speech), tetapi menggunakan percakapan tidak langsung.
Ada beberapa hal yang harus dirubah pada saat mengubah percakapan langsung menjadi percakapan tidak langsung :
1) Promina (I, you, she, he, we, they) dan kepemilikan (my self, your self, herself, themself)
• Martin asked, “Would you watch a movie with me?”
• Martin asked if I wanted to watch a movie with him
2) Bentuk waktu (tenses) percakapan langsung biasanya terjadi lebih lampau dibandingkan saat kita menceritakannya kembali kepada orang lain.
Contoh indirect speech :
a) She said she hadn`t plated the game
b) I was sure we would survive
c) I told her that she could choose

Direct speech.” When will you sleep/”
He asked me when I would sleep.

Direct &indirect speech terdiri dari 3 jenis :
1) Statement (pernyataan)
2) Command (perintah)
3) Question (pertanyaan)


1) Statement
Dalam indirect statement. Kita menggunakan kata that (bahwa) sebagai penghubung antara kalimat pengantar (introductory phrase) dan kata-kata yang dilaporkan (reported words). Kalimat-kalimat pengantar dalam indirect statement ialah
He said
He said to me that=reported words
He told me
Example :
a) Mary told herfriend ;(I have been to bali twice)
b) Mary told her friends that she had been to Bali twice
a) Father said : (I am going out of town tomorrow)
b) Father said that he was going out of town the following day
a) Mary told John : (my father warned me last night)
b) Mary told John that her father had warned her the night before
a) My sister said to me : (I don`t like tennis)
b) My sister said to me that she didn`t like tennis
a) Tom said: (I didn`t go to school this morning)
b) Tom said that he hadn`t gone to school that morning
Apabila kalimat pengantarnya dalam bentuk simple present tense, maka kalimat yang dilaporkan tidak mengalami perubahan.
Example :
a) John say`s : {I will go to bandung tomorrow}
b) John says that he will go to Bandung tomorrow
a) Mary say`s ; {i have seen that film}
b) Mary say`s that she has seen that film
a) My brother say`s : {I met Tom at the party last night}
b) My brother say`s that he met Tom at the party last night
a) Tom say`s : {I don`t like english}
b) Tom say`s that he doesn`t like english
2) Command (perintah)
 Command dibagi menjadi 2 (dua) bagian yaitu :
1) Positive command
2) Negative command
• 1) Positive command
Dalam perintah positive kita tambahkan to di depan kalimat perintahnya. Sebagai penghubung antara kalimat pengantar dan perintah yang dilaporkan kalimat-kalimat pengantar dalam jenis ini ialah :
He asked me
He told me
^ To + infinitive

a) He asked me ( open your book)
b) He asked me to open my book

b) Mary told me to stop talking to jane
a) Mather asked John ; ( Pay attention to what I say0
b) mather asked to John to pay attention to what she says
a) John told mary ; ( Wait untill I come)
b) John told Mary to wait untill he come
a) The teacher said to the student : (Be quiet while I am talking)
b) The teacher told the student to be quiet while he is talking

• 2) Negative Command
Dalam perintah negative kita tambahkan not to di depan perintah yang dilaporkan
E.g :
Mary told John : (Don`t wait for me)
Mary told John not to wait for her
a) I told him ; (Don`t mention it to anyone)
b) I told him not to mention it to anyone
a) Father asked her ; (Don`t go there alone0

Ask, Not say or tell, is used to report yes/no questions.

Yes/no Question Noun Clause

Incorect : Sam asked me that I was hungry
If, not that, is used after ask to intruduce a noun clause

Whether has the same meaning as if. (see chart 14-4 for the use of or not)
- Sam asked if I was hungry
The (pro) noun object (e.g.,me) may be omitted after ask
