speech, hanya saja berubahnya kata ganti (pronoun) I menjadi She. Perubahan kata

kita perlu mengubah tense dari direct speech.

2. Reported Yes/no Questions

Reported questions adalah pertanyaan yang dilaporkan. Ketika kita melaporkan sebuah
pertanyaan, maka laporan tersebut tidak lagi berbentuk pertanyaan, melainkan berubah
menjadi pernyataan (statement).

 They asked me, “Are you happy?
 He asked me,”Do you like swimming?”

(Kalimat tidak langsung)
 They asked me if I was happy.
 He asked me if I like swimming.

Jika direct speech dalam bentuk past perfect maka tense tidak perlu diubah lagi.
