    Direct Speech and Indirect Speech
    Ada dua cara untuk mengungkapkan apa yang seseorang katakan yaitu: langsung (direct) dan tidak langsung (indirect/reported).
    Pada kalimat langsung, kita mengulangi ucapan pembicara (speaker) sama persis. Kalimat langsung biasanya digunakan dalam percakapan di dalam buku, drama, ataupun dalam tanda kurung.
    Contoh:
    He said, ‘I have lost my umbrella

    Kalimat langsung (direct) mempunyai dua bagian, yaitu: reporting sentence dan reported sentence. Reporting sentence adalah klausa yang berisi siapa yang berbicara, sedangkan reported sentence adalah klausa yang berisi apa yang dibicarakan.
    Contoh:
    Mike said, “I will come to your house.

    Sedangkan, pada kalimat tidak langsung (indirect), kita mengungkapkan maksud ucapan pembicara dengan ungkapan yang tidak sama persis.
    Contoh:
    He said (that) he had lost his umbrella.

    PERUBAHAN KALIMAT LANGSUNG (DIRECT) MENJADI TIDAK LANGSUNG (INDIRECT)

    A. Kalimat pernyataan (statement) pada kalimat tidak langsung (indirect)
    Perubahan direct menjadi indirect pada statement ditandai dengan ‘that’.
    Kalimat langsung yang reporting sentence-nya memiliki verb dalam bentuk present tense (simple present, present continuous, and present perfect atau future tense) maka tidak ada perubahan tenses pada reported sentence dalam bentuk tidak langsung (indirect). Ini biasanya terjadi apabila:
    1. Melaporkan suatu percakapan yang masih berlangsung
    2. Membaca surat dan melaporkan apa isi surat tersebut
    3. Membaca perintah dan langsung melaporkannya pada waktu tersebut
    4. Melaporkan pernyataan yang sering muncul

    Contoh:
    Direct
    John (phoning from the station), “I’m trying to get a taxi.”
    • Siska says,” The sun rises every morning.

    Indirect
    John says that he is trying to get a taxi.
    • Siska says that the sun rises every morning.

    Namun demikian, kalimat tidak langsung biasanya diawali dengan verb lampau (past tense)
