Direct and Indirect Speech
We
often have to give information about what people say or think. In
order to do this you can use direct or quoted speech, or indirect or
reported speech.
Direct Speech / Quoted Speech
Saying
exactly what someone has said is called direct speech (sometimes
called quoted speech)
Here
what a person says appears within quotation marks ("...")
and should be word for word.
For
example:
She
said, "Today's lesson is on presentations."
or
"Today's
lesson is on presentations", she said.
Direct
Speech
|
|
“I
play basketball every saturday night,” said Tommy.
(Saya main basket setiap sabtu malam.) |
|
“I’ll
be back soon,” he said.
(Saya akan segera kembali.) |
Indirect Speech / Reported Speech
Indirect
speech (sometimes called reported speech), doesn't use quotation
marks to enclose what the person said and it doesn't have to be word
for word.
When
reporting speech the tense usually changes. This is because when we
use reported speech, we are usually talking about a time in the past
(because obviously the person who spoke originally spoke in the
past). The verbs therefore usually have to be in the past too.
For
example:
Direct speech
|
Indirect speech
|
---|---|
"I'm going to the
cinema", he said.
|
He said he was going to the
cinema.
|
Indirect
Speech
|
Tommy
said that he played basketball every saturday night.
(Tommy mengatakan bahwa dia bermain basket setiap santu malam.) |
He
said that he would be back soon.
(Dia mengatakan bahwa dia akan segera kembali.) |
Changing
Speech Being Direct Indirect Speech
In
general, direct and indirect speech can be converted into speech by
removing the quotation marks and capital letters (the first letter of
the word in quotation marks omitted), adding that word / Whether /
if, adjust pronoun, verb, and / or time reference.
.

Penjelasan
|
Statement
(pernyataan)
|
||
“I
like eating out,” said Vina.
(Saya suka makan diluar.) |
Vina
said that she liked eating out.
(Vina mengatakan bahwa dia suka makan di luar.) |
Quotation
marks
dihilangkan, pronoun I diganti menjadi she (orang ketiga),
dan verb
like
diubah menjadi past
tense
liked
dengan asumsi Vina tidak lagi suka makan diluar atau penyampai
berita sekedar fokus dengan past conversation. Namun verb bisa tetap like jika penyampai berita yakin pernyataan tersebut masih valid, misalnya karena disampaikan segera setelah penyampai berita mendengar perkataan tersebut.

Question (pertanyaan)
|
||
“Have
you finished your homework?” he asked. (Sudahkan kamu menyelesaikan PR?) |
He
wanted to know whether I had finished my homework. (Dia ingin tau apakah saya sudah menyelesaikan PR.) |
Whether/if ditambahkan untuk menyampaikan berita berupa yes-no question yang telah didengar sebelumnya. |
Imperative (perintah,
instruksi, saran)
|
||
“Wake
up now!” she shouted.
(Bangun sekarang!) |
She
told me to wake up at that time.
(Pada saat itu dia mengatakan pada saya untuk bangun.) |
Now (time) menjadi at that time atau then, sedangkan verb menjadi infinitive pada reporting command. |
Tense change

a rule when you report something someone has said you go back a
tense: (the tense on the left changes to the tense on the right):

certain modals, as follows:

will ---> would
here ---> there
now ---> then
next week --->
the following week
shall ---> should
may ---> might
this ---> that
yesterday --->
the day before
Time change
If
the reported sentence contains an expression of time, you must change
it to fit in with the time of reporting.
For
example we need to change words like here and yesterday if
they have different meanings at the time and place of reporting.

In
addition if you report something that someone said in a different
place to where you heard it you must change the place (here) to the
place (there).
For
example:-
At work
|
At home
|
---|---|
"How long have you
worked here?"
|
She asked me how long I'd
worked there.
|
Pronoun change
In
reported speech, the pronoun often changes.

example:
Me
|
You
|
---|---|
"I teach
English online."
|
Direct
SpeechShe said,
"I teach
English online."
"I teach
English online", she said.
Reported
Speech
She
said she teaches
English online.
or

said she taught
English online.
|
Reporting Verbs
Said,
told and asked are
the most common verbs used in indirect speech.
We
use asked to
report questions:-
For
example: I asked Lynne
what time the lesson started.
We
use told with
an object.
For
example: Lynne told me
she felt tired.
!Note -
Here me is the object.
We
usually use said without
an object.
For
example: Lynne said she
was going to teach online.
If
said is used with an object we must include to ;
For
example: Lynne said to me
that she'd never been to China.
!Note -
We usually use told.
For
example: Lynne told me
(that) she'd never been to China.
There
are many other verbs we can use apart from said, told and asked.
These
include:-
accused,
admitted, advised, alleged, agreed, apologised, begged, boasted,
complained, denied, explained, implied, invited, offered, ordered,
promised, replied, suggested and thought.
|
Using
them properly can make what you say much more interesting and
informative.
For
example:
He
asked me to come to the party:-
He invited me to the
party.
|
He begged me to come to
the party.
|
He ordered me to come to
the party.
|
He advised me to come to
the party.
|
He suggested I should
come to the party.
|
Use of 'That' in reported speech
In
reported speech, the word that is
often used.
For
example: He told me that he
lived in Greenwich.
However, that is
optional.
For
example: He told me he lived in Greenwich.
!Note -
That is never used in questions, instead we often use if.
For
example: He asked me if I would come to the party.
The sneaky comma
I'm
British, so I only tend to place the comma inside quotation marks
when it's part of the sentence being quoted.
"I
didn't notice that the comma was inside the quotation marks,"
Lynne said, "but Hekner did."
That
said, I read so much American literature, that even I tuck them away
sometimes.
Really,
no one has set in stone what the rules of the English language are.
It's a diverse language, and the rules that exist have arisen through
usage, and they can change in exactly the same way, so maybe it
doesn't matter, but it's best to be consistent. (Thanks Hekner.)
