Tahukah kamu apa itu direct dan indirect speech? Di artikel kali ini kamu akan menemukan jawabannya, termasuk contoh direct dan indirect speech beserta latihan soal loh!

Direct speech atau quoted speech merupakan sebuah kutipan langsung dari ucapan seseorang yang ditandai dengan quotation mark ("). Indirect speech atau reported speech juga memberikan informasi yang sama namun perbedaanya adalah tidak mengutip secara langsung melainkan mendeskripsikan ucapan tersebut dengan kalimat yang berbeda.

Untuk lebih jelasnya, yuk simak contoh penggunaan dari direct dan indirect speech di bawah ini!

1. Pergantian Tenses

Di kedua speech ini, terdapat pergantian tenses yang perlu untuk kamu lakukan. Tetapi ada pengecualian, yaitu jika kalimat pertama pada direct speech merupakan present tense atau future tense maka tidak perlu ada pergantian tenses di indirect speech.

Contoh Direct Speech

  1. She says, "She is ill."

  2. You say, " I drink a cup of coffee every morning."

  3. She said, "I take yoga class once a week."

  4. Siska said, "We are watching a movie."

  5. Jonny said, "My sister have finished her class."

Contoh Indirect Speech

  • You say that you drink a cup of coffee every morning.

  • She said that she took yoga class once a week.

  • Siska said that they were watching a movie.

  • Jonny said that her sister had finished her class.

2. Pergantian Waktu

Jika dalam direct speech terdapat keterangan waktu seperti now, tomorrow, today, yesterday, dan tonight maka pada indirect speech keterangan waktu tersebut harus diganti.

Contoh Direct Speech

  1. He said, "I need my phone now."

  2. My mom said, "I am going to your school today."

  3. She said, "My uncle visited me yesterday."

  4. Clay said, "I am going to Jakarta tomorrow."

  5. Clara said, "We are going to eat kebab tonight."

Contoh Indirect Speech

  • He said that he need his phone then.

  • My mom said that she was going to my school that day.

  • She said that her uncle visited her the previous day.

  • Clay said he was going to jakarta the next day.

  • Clara said they were going to eat kebab that night.

3. Kalimat Perintah

Untuk menuliskan kalimat perintah pada indirect speech tentunya berbeda. Biasanya kalimat perintah dapat berisikan saran, permohonan, permintaan, atau pesan.

Contoh Direct Speech

  1. My brother said to my sister, "Close the windows."

  2. She said to him, "Bring your book, please."

  3. My teacher said to me, "Don't throw the rubbish in this room."

  4. Lily said to me, "You should find a job."

  5. You said to me, "Consult a doctor."
