Bilamana reported speech
memberikan isi pokok kata-
Indirect kata yang dipakai oleh
sipembicara, dan bukan kata-
Speech kata yang sebenarnya.
Contoh 1: Contoh 2:
DS : He said,” The woman comes” DS : He said,”I will come here”
IS : He said that the woman came. IS : He said that he would go there.
2. Apabila reporting verb dalam bentuk present /present perfect
atau future, bentuk waktu kata kerja dalam reporting speech
tidak berubah.

H DS : She will say, “ The boy wasn’t lazy”

Question Words (Kalimat tanya)
Bila reporting speech merupakan kalimat tanya, reporting verb
“say/ tell” dirubah menjadi “ask “ dengan menggunakan kata
tanya tersebut sebagai penghubung.
Contoh:
DS : He said to me, “ Where are you going?”
IS ; He asked me where I was going.
DS: He said to him,” Why do you stop here?”
IS : He asked him why he stopped there?
DS : Jenifer asked me,”What do you want?”
DS : She said to Andi,” When are you leaving?”
Yes/ no question
Apabila direct speech dalam bentuk YES/NO QUESTION, maka
gunakan If/ Whether sebagai penghubungnya.
Contoh:
DS : He said to me,” Can you come to my party?”
IS : He asked me if I could come to his party.
Positive Command
Dalam perintah posistif kita tambahkan to di depan kalimat
perintahnya, sebagai penghubung antara kalimat pengantar dan
perintah yang dilaporkan. Kalimat-kalimat pengantar dalam jenis
ini ialah : to + invinitive.
Examples
DS: He asked me “Open your book”
IS : He asked me to open my book
Examples
DS : He said to me,“Don`t go home late!”
IS : He warned me not to go home late.
