Direct
speech and Indirect Sentences
Direct
speech (Direct Speech) is a
sentence when reported speech stating the
actual words.Sentences are not connected
by "that" it should be with (punctuation) commas.
Sentence (indirect speech) are
sentences which when reported speech gives the
substance of the words used by the speaker and not
the actual words. In indirect speech sentences
are associated with the word "that".
Tense reporting verb is
not changed, but the present tense reported speech should
be modified based on the form of a reporting verb.
Direct & Indirect Speech consists of 3 types:
I. Statement
II. Command
III. Question
I. STATEMENT
In Indirect Statement we use that word (that) as a liaison
between the introductory sentence (introduce phrases) and the words reported
(reported words). Introductory sentences in indirect statement is:
He said
He said to me that
reported + words
He told me
eg :
- Mary told her friends "I have been to Bali
twice."
- Mary told her friends that she had been to Bali twice.
- Father said "I am going out of town tomorrow"
- Father said that he was going out of town the following day.
II . COMMAND
Command was divided into two (2 ) parts:
1 . positive Command
In order to add to our positive in front of the command line , as a liaison between the introductory sentence and orders were reported . Introductory sentences in these types are
to + infinitive
He asked me
He told me
e.g:
He asked me
He told me
e.g:
- He asked me " Open your book "
- He asked me to open my book .
- He asked me to open my book .
- Mary told me " Stop talking to Jane "
- Mary told me to stop talking to Jane .
- Mother asked John " Pay attention to what I say "
- Mother asked John to pay attention to what she says .
2 . negative Command
In negative commands us not to add the commands are reported .
e.g:
2 . negative Command
In negative commands us not to add the commands are reported .
e.g:

- I told him " Do not mention it to anyone "
- I told him not to mention it to anyone .
III. QUESTION
When the question directly (direct question) use question words such as Where, When, Why, What, Who, How, etc., then these words are used as intermediaries in reported Speech. Questions were reported berubaha be a positive form. Introductory sentence is
positive Form
He asked me where
When etc.
eg:
eg:
- The man asked me: "Where do you live?"
- The man asked me where I lived.
- John asked Mary: "Why do you get angry with me?"
- John asked Mary why she got angry with him.
When the question was not directly asked to use words, and only the question in the form of "Yes and No Question", then we use the words if, Whether (if, if) as a liaison between the introductory sentences and questions were reported.
eg:
- The boy asked John: "Does Mary live near here?"
- The boy asked John if Mary lived near there.
- The boy asked John if Mary lived near there.
- The teacher asked her: "Have you finished your
homework?"
