Direct and indirect
speech can be a source of confusion for English learners. Let's first define
the terms, then look at how to talk about what someone said, and how to convert
speech from direct to indirect or vice-versa.
You can answer the
question What did he say? in two ways:
- by repeating the words spoken (direct
speech)
- by reporting the words spoken
(indirect or reported speech).
DIRECT SPEECH
Direct speech repeats,
or quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in writing, we
place the words spoken between quotation marks (" ") and there is no
change in these words. We may be reporting something that's being said NOW (for
example a telephone conversation), or telling someone later about a previous
conversation.
EXAMPLES
- She says, "What time will
you be home?"
- She said, "What time will
you be home?" and I said, "I don't know! "
- "There's a fly in my
soup!" screamed Simone.
- John said, "There's an
elephant outside the window."
INDIRECT SPEECH
Reported or indirect
speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense
of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we
may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are
not used.
She said, "I saw
him." (direct speech) = She said that
she had seen him.
(indirect speech)
'That' may be omitted:
She told him that she was happy. = She told him she was happy.
'SAY' AND 'TELL'
Use 'say' when there
is no indirect object:
He said that he was tired.
Always use 'tell' when you say who was being spoken to (i.e.
with an indirect object):
He told me that he was tired.
'TALK' AND 'SPEAK'
Use these verbs to describe the action of communicating:
He talked to us.
She was speaking on the telephone.
Use these verbs with 'about' to refer to what was said:
He talked (to us) about his parents.
example:
Direct speech:
I told Jerry, “I can fix this computer soon”
Aku memberitahu Jerry, “Aku dapat memperbaiki computer ini segera”.
Indirect speech:
I told to him that I could fix this computer immediately.
Aku memberitahu dia bahwa aku bisa memperbaiki komputer ini segera.
Direct speech:
Marry told us, “I have to go now”
Marry memberitahu kami , “Aku harus pergi saat ini”
Indirect speech:
Marry told to us that she had to go then.
Marry memberitahu kami bahwa dia harus pergi saat itu.
Jika Verb di reporting sentence present maka verb di reported sentence tidak berubah
Direct speech:
John tells Anne “I will pick you up at seven o’clock tonight”
John memberitahu Anne, “Aku akan menjemputmu pada jam 7 malam malam ini.
Indirect speech:
John told to Anne that he will pick her up at seven o’clock tonight.
John memberitahu Anne bahwa dia akan menjemput dia jam 7 malam itu.
