Report Speech
·
Direct Speech adalah kalimat yang
diucapkan langsung dari si pembicara. Kalimat
tersebut tidak diubah atau ditambah.Contoh :
- Rochman said, “I am so happy”.
- They said, “We have watched football game”.
·
Indirect Speech adalah kalimat
yang berasal dari kalimat langsung yang diceritakan
kembali dalam bentuk yang lain.Contoh :
- Rochman said that he was so happy
- They said that they had watched football game.
Catatan :
Jika Kata Kerja dalam induk kalimat bentuknya adalah Present dan Present Perfect
atau adanya suatu keterangan yang umum pada induk kalimat, maka tidak ada
perubahan waktu dalam Kalimat tidak langsung.

sleepy?” She asks me wether I am sleepy
- He has told us, “I am
hungry.” He told us that he is hungry
- She told me,“the sun rises
