 BAB I
PENDAHULUAN

1.1 Latar Belakang Masalah

English is an international language and also the language used in education as a
curriculum. Besides English as a curriculum, English also has sentence structure and
procedures for writing and pronunciation like other languages. The sentence structure is meant
one of which is a direct sentence and an indirect sentence.
Of course, direct and indirect sentences are used in everyday language. Direct sentences
and indirect sentences reflect a conversation through oneself or through others. Therefore direct
sentences and indirect sentences are important to learn.

1.2 Rumusan Masalah

1. What is meant by Direct speech ?
2. What is meant by Indirect speech ?

 BAB II
PEMBAHASAN
A. Direct Speech

Direct speech is the original quote of a conversation without any change. Writing direct
speech is always enclosed in quotes, sentences always start with a capital letter. The colon (:)
or comma (,) is placed before the direct speech when the connecting word / reporter (reporting
verb) is in advance, and the comma (,) must be placed after the direct speech when the
connecting word is placed after or between direct the speech. Punctuation such as exclamation
points (!), Question marks (?) That indicate the type of direct sentence does not change.
Example:
1. She yelled at me: ‘Don’t leave the door open!’
2. My mother says to my sister: ‘Brush your teeth!’
3. ‘Where are you going?’ she asked.

B. Indirect Speech

Indirect speech or also commonly called reported speech is an indirect sentence or another
person's sentence that is repeated in another form by the speaker, without using the same form,
but still retains the intent or content of the original sentence (the exad word of the
speaker).
The sentence form of this report is to retell the conversation / opinion of a person who
has experienced certain modifications. There are three types of indirect speech:
1. Imperative (command/request)
2. Declarative (statement)
3. Interrogative (question)

a. Imperative (command/request)
What was reported here was an order. Because the command sentence usually does not
recognize the subject, the verb in direct imperative does not change. Verb in indrect becomes
"to infinitive".
Positive Imperative : Reporting Verb + Obyek + To Infinitive

He said, “Go away!” → He told me to go away
ordered her
“Come here!” she said. → She asked him to come here
commanded them
I said, “Be quite!” → I begged us to be quite

3) Request (Permintaan)
Direct speech : She said, “Could you lend me the pen?’.
Indirect speech :She said asked me to lend her the pen.
4) Warning (Peringatan)
Direct speech : He said, “You must finish it”.
Indirect speech : He told/warned me to finish it.
Negative imperative

He said, “Don’t go away!” → He told me not to go away
ordered her
“Don’t come here!” she said. → She asked him not to come here
commanded them
I said, “Don’t be noisy!” → I begged you not to noisy
suggested the

can could

shall should

3.Interrogative (question)

a. Starting with auxiliary If the question starts with auxiliary, which only requires an answer /
yes / no ’, then in this case use the connecting words‘ if ’or’ whether ’in the indirect. This
indirect question sentence is first changed into a statement, then treated as a change in the
statement pattern (discussed above). Reporting verb used is asked, inquired, wonder, wanted
to know. Example:
Direct Indirect
Doctor: ‘Do you usually take a nap ?’
Diubah:
You usually take a nap Doctor asked if/whether I usually took a nap

7
b. Using question words (QW) In questions that use the question word, question word (QW):
how, when, why, where, who, what, functions as a connecting word in his indirect speech. The
steps for forming this type of indirect are the same as the steps in form one (1) above: first the
question sentence form is converted into a statement form, then treated as changes in the
statement pattern (statement). But in this case the 'if / whether' position is replaced by the
question word from the direct form. Example:
Direct Indirect
Arief : ‘How do you spell your name?’
You spell your name Arief asked how I spelt my name.

 BAB III
PENUTUP

3.1 Kesimpulan
Direct sentences are sentences delivered directly by the speaker. Immediate sentences
are marked with quotes and capital letters at the beginning. Furthermore, direct sentences do
not transition. Sentences that are not straightforward are sentences by other people, amended
but still have the same purpose and purpose. The indirect sentence is divided into 3 namely
request / request, request and request. In the sentence the question consists of two forms,
namely answers that only need yes or no and answers that require answers to sentences.

3.2 Saran
As students we should master English in the current mineal era. Because English is an
international language between countries. Especially understanding sentence structure,
grammar and pronunciation. Because English will be very important in the future. Everyday
life should be practiced in English through one form of sentence, namely direct sentences and
indirect sentences.
