DIRECT SPEECH DAN INDIRECT/REPORTED SPEECH PADA BAHASA INGGRIS

Kalimat langsung maupun kalimat tidak langsung mungkin adalah salah satu pelajaran yang sering Anda temui ketika sedang bersekolah, baik di SD, SMP, maupun pada saat SMA. Anda juga sudah paham dengan kalimat langsung dan tidak langsung pada Bahasa Indonesia. Pada Bahasa Inggris lebih sering disebut sebagai direct and indirect speech.

Pengertian dari kalimat langsung adalah kalimat yang dikutip dari perkataan seseorang tanpa merubah kata-kata dan selalu dibubuhkan tanda kutip pada kalimatnya. Sedangkan kalimat tidak langsung adalah kalimat yang merupakan penyampaian apa yang diucapkan seseorang tetapi di dalam kalimat tersebut terdapat perubahan kata-kata dan tidak mengubah maksud. Kalimat langsung dan tidak langsung terbagi menjadi tiga, yakni pernyataan (statement), perintah (command), dan pertanyaan (question).

KALIMAT PERINTAH

Pada kalimat perintah, kalimat langsung dan tidak langsung terbagi menjadi kalimat perintah positif dan kalimat perintah negatif. Pada kalimat perintah perlu ditambahkan to di depan kalimatnya.

Perhatikan contoh berikut ini :

Kalimat perintah positif :

• He asked me, “open the door”

He asked me to open the door.

Kalimat perintah negatif :

• She told me, “don’t eat that meal”

She told me not to eat that meal

KALIMAT PERNYATAAN

Dalam kalimat pernyataan, sering digunakan kata that (bahwa) sebagai penghubung antar kalimat pengantar dan kalimat yang dilaporkan.

Perhatikanlah contoh kalimat berikut ini :

• Kalimat langsung : He told his friend, “I have a new car”

Kalimat tidak langsung : He told his friend that he had a new car

• Kalimat langsung : She said, “I work in a factory”

Kalimat tidak langsung : She said that she worked in a factory.

KALIMAT PERTANYAAN

Pada kalimat tanya, kata-kata tanya seperti where, when, why, what, who, how, dan lain-lain digunakan sebagai kata hubung.

Contoh :

• That girl asked me, “where do you live?”

That girl asked me where i lived

• Jane asked me, “When did you get back from your trip?”

Jane asked me when I had got back from my trip.

Jika kalimat tanya membutuhkan jawaban yes or no, kata yang kita gunakan adalah if atau whether (jika, apakah).

Contoh :

• The teacher asked me, “have you finish your homework?”

The teacher asked me if i had finished my homework.

• John asked me, “did you see Jane at the party yesterday?”

John asked me whether I had seen Jane at the party yesterday.
