DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH

Kalimat langsung (Direct Speech) adalah kalimat yang bilamana reported speech menyatakan kata-kata yang sebenarnya. Kalimat-kalimat tersebut tidak dihubungkan oleh “that” melainkan harus dengan (tanda baca) koma.

Kalimat tidak langsung (indirect speech) adalah kalimat yang bilamana reported speech memberikan isi pokok kata-kata yang dipakai oleh si pembicara dan bukan kata-kata yang sebenarnya. Dalam indirect speech kalimat-kalimat itu dihubungkan dengan kata “that”. Bentuk waktu reporting verb tidak diubah, akan tetapi bentuk waktu reported speech harus diubah berdasarkan bentuk waktu reporting verb.

PENJELASAN

Untuk lebih memahami perbedaan antara direct speeh dengan indirect speech dapat dilihat dari contoh dibawah ini :

• He said : “ I am very hungry” (Direct speech)

• He said that he was very hungry (Indirect speech)

Catatan :

Dari contoh diatas dapat disimpulkan bahwa perbedaan antara direct speech dan indirect speech adalah bahwa dalam direct speech atau kalimat langsung memakai tanda kutip sedangkan dalam indirect speech atau kalimat tidak langsung tanda kutip tidak dipakai.

Direct dan Indirect speech dapat dibagi dalam 3 bagian :

1. Command (Perintah)

2. Statement (Pernyataan)

3. Question (Pertanyaan)

Penjelasan

1. 1. COMMAND

Command terdiri dari 2 jenis :

Positive Command dan Negative Command

Positive Command

Dalam pola ini kalimat pengantar dinyatakan dengan kata kerja : tell, ask, advise, etc. Diikuti oleh to infinitive.

Kalimat pengantar :

He told me to + reporter words

Indirect : The teacher asked me to open my book

Negative Command

Kalimat pengantar :

He asked me

He told me not to + reporter words

He ordered me

Contoh-contoh negative command :

• Direct : Father asked me : “ Don’t go out”

Indirect : Father asked me no to go out

1. 2. STATEMENT

Dalam indirect statement, “that” digunakan sebagai penghubung antar kalimat pengantar dan kata-kata yang dilaporkan (reported speech)

Kalimat pengantar dalam statement :

He said

+that+reported words

He told me

Contoh-contoh :

• Direct : He said, “Adi is ill”

Indirect : He said that adi was ill

• Direct : She told me, “I am studying English now”

Indirect : she told me that she was studying English now

• Direct : Rina said, “he will work hard”

Catatan:

Ada beberapa perubahan perubahan dari Direct ke Indirect Speech

1. To be and Auxiliries

2. Time and Place

3. Tenses

1. 3. QUESTION

Bila pertanyaan langsung dalam bentuk YES dan NO answer maka IF atau WHETHER sebagai pendukung antara introductory phrase dan reported words.

Kalimat pengantar untuk pola ialah :

He asked me IF/WHETHER………

Contoh-contoh :

Direct : we asked the man “Do you like coffe?”

Indirect : we asked the man if/whether he liked coffe

Direct : seisy asked Helen : “have you seen that film?”

Indirect : seisy asked Helen if/whether she had seen that film

Auxiliaries

Direct : the man asked me :’’can you speak English?

Indirect : the man asked me if/whether I could speak English

Bila pertanyaan menggunakan kata-kata Tanya seperti : where, when, what, why, who,whose,how,etc. maka kata-kata tersebut berfungsi sebagai penghubung antara introductory pharse dan reported words, dengan pola sbb:

He asked me + Question Words+reported words(positive)

Contoh-contoh :

Direct : we asked the man :’where do you live?”

Indirect : we asked the man where he lived

Direct : we asked him :’’ where were you going by 5 p.m yesterday?”

Indirect : we asked him where he had been going by 5 p.m yesterday

Direct : adi said to seisi : I’am off to the movie. Where are you going?

Indirect : adi said to seisi that he was off to the movie and asked where she was going

Direct : the man asked me :’’what time is it? My watch has stopped’’

Indirect : the man asked me what time it was as his watch had stopped

Bila suatu pertanyaan dan jawabannya (YES & NO) digabung, maka digunakan kata penghubung AND dan BUT. Contoh :
