Pengertian, Rumus, dan Contoh Direct and Indirect Speech
Tenses dalam bahasa Inggris mempunyai banyak kegunaan sebagai pengembangannya. Salah satunya adalah direct and indirect speech. Direct and indirect speech biasa dipakai dalam percakapan melalui ujaran langsung dan tak langsung. Dalam hal ini, direct speech menggambarkan ujaran langsung, sementara indirect speech untuk ujaran tidak langsung atau mengutip perkataan orang lain. Berikut akan dipaparkan pengertian, rumus, dan contoh direct and indirect speech dalam bahasa Inggris.
Pengertian Direct and Indirect Speech
Direct speech, atau dikenal juga dengan quoted speech (ucapan langsung), adalah kalimat atau ujaran yang dikutip secara langsung dari pembicaranya, tanpa mengubah, menambah, ataupun mengurangi isi pesan. Dalam penulisannya, kalimat ini ditandai dengan quotation mark atau tanda kutip (“ ….”). Perhatikan contoh di bawah ini.
He said, “I will leave for Bandung tonight.”
My mom asked, “Where did you put the key?”
The teacher told the kids, “Don’t make much noise!”
Indirect speech, atau dikenal juga dengan reported speech (ucapan tak langsung), adalah kalimat atau ujaran yang dinyatakan atau dilaporkan kembali oleh pembicara lain dengan cara mengubah sudut pandangnya. Kalimat ini ditulis tidak dengan membubuhkan tanpa kutip, tapi dengan menyematkan konjungsi, sesuai dengan bentuk kalimatnya. Dalam hal ini, bentuk kalimat dibedakan tiga:

Rumus dan Contoh Direct and Indirect Speech
Rumus indirect speech bergantung pada pronoun dan verb pada main clause. Secara umum, terdapat tiga jenis perubahan pada indirect speech, yaitu pronouns, tenses, dan adverbs. Berikut rumus dan contoh direct and indirect speech.
A. Perubahan Pronouns
Perubahan pronoun terjadi saat direct speech berubah menjadi indirect speech. Seperti dijelaskan sebelumnya, hal ini dikarenakan berubahnya sudut pandang. Dan berikut adalah perubahan pronoun yang muncul dalam indirect speech.

Indirect speech

You, you, your, yourself/ves, yours Menyesuaikan objek main clause
Pronoun lain Menyesuaikan konteks kalimat
* Main clause adalah bagian yang tidak bertanda kutip dalam direct speech (pada contoh sebelumnya: he said, my mom asked, the teacher told the kids).
