UNIT 2 DIRECT - INDIRECT SPEECH • • • • • • • •

If we reproduce of another person’s actual words, we can use in two ways, namely : by using “direct speech” and “indirect speech”. 1. Direct Speech. Direct speech is a form of original sentence from someone’s opinion without undergoing any changes. The constructions of direct speech in general consists of two parts of sentences : a. Main clause which is called “reporting verb” b. Sub clause which is called “reported words”.

• 2. Indirect Speech. • Indirect speech or reported speech tells • • •

about the main discussion or opinion of someone that is as a compound sentence which consists of main clause and sub clause

• •

separated by certain conjunctions and sub clause by means of some changes

3. The change of time and place from direct speech

• • • • • • • • • •

to indirect speech when the main clause in the Past Tense, namely :

tomorrow tomorrow night tomorrow morning

becomes “ “

next week next month

“ “

next year now today

“ “ “

- the day after/ the following day - the night after/ the following night - the morning after/ the following morning - the week after/ the following week - the month after/ the following month - the year after/ the following year - then - that day

• • • • • • • • • • • • • •

this week becomes - that week this month “ - that month this year “ - that year this morning “ - that morning yesterday - the day before/ the previous day last night “ - the night before/ the previous night last week “ - the week before/ the previous week last month “ - the month before/ the previous month last year “ - the year before/ the previous year ago “ - before this “ - that these “ - those Here “ - there

Infinitive without to in the direct speech becomes to infinitive in the indirect speech 3. If direct speech uses the word “please” to refine the form of command and we want to change it into indirect speech, so the word “please” must be omitted. 4. In the form of negative imperative by using “Don’t” which is followed

• • •

by “infinitive without to” in the direct speech, and we want to change it into indirect speech must be changed to become “Not to infinitive” (see the sentences in part “B” above,

object, so the verb “said” must be changed by “told”
