Indirect speech and reported speech

indirect speech adalah kalimat tak langsung, yaitu kalimat yang dikatakan olehh orang lain (mungkin di tempat dan waktu yang berbeda) berdasarkan apa yang dikatakan langsung oleh penutur pertama. “Indirect Speech” disebut juga reported speech atau quoted speech.

1. Dalam indirect speech, “the past continuous tense” yang digunakan dengan when clause tidak
mengalami perubahan.

2. Dalam British English, penulisan tanda kutip menggunakan tanda kutip satu (‘ ‘), sedangkan
dalam American English, penulisannya menggunakan tanda kutip dua (“ “).

3. ‘should’ yang digunakan dengan I dan We (British) mempunyai arti akan bukan sebaliknya.
‘should’ berubah menjadi would dalam indirect speech.
Contoh:
a) He said, ‘ I should be happy.’  He said that he would be happy
b) He said, ‘I shall be happy.’  He said that he would be happy

4. Untuk suatu pernyataan yang benar secara universal. Kita dapat menggunakan the simple
present tense da dalam noun clause.
Contoh:
a) He said that the sun rises in the east.
b) He said that the sun rose in the east.

5. Jika introductory verb atau kata kerja dalam klausa utama dalam bentuk the simple present,
the present perfect atau the dimple future tense, maka dalam indirect speech tidak mengalami
perubahan.
Contoh:
a) He says that he is trying to work carefully.
b) She has said that she will never be late again.

Reported speech

Reported speech secara tidak langsung melaporkan apa yang dikatakan orang lain. Contoh:
1.Jane said she was so happy today.
2.The president said he needed a vacation.

Reported speech menggunakan bentuk lampau dari direct speech. Jadi jika direct speech dalam bentuk present tense, maka reported speech dalam bentuk past tense. Contoh:
1.Direct Speech - I said, “She is in her office.”
2.Reported Speech - I said she was in her office.

Apabila direct speech dalam bentuk past tense, maka reported speech menggunakan bentuk past perfect.
1.Direct Speech - I said, “She was in her office at lunchtime.”
2.Reported Speech - I said she had been in her office at lunchtime. atau - I said she was in her office at lunchtime.

Dalam bahasa Inggris moderen, bentuk past perfect sering tidak diperlukan untuk reported speech bentuk lampau, kita cukup menggunakan past simple tense.

Berikut beberapa bentuk kata kerja umum dalam direct dan reported speech

1. Tenses / Reported Speech
2. Simple present: I said, “She is busy”. - I said she was busy.
3. Present continuous:I said, “I am working now”. - I said I was working now
4. Simple past:I said, “She was here this morning”. - I said she was here this morning. ATAU
I said she had been here this morning.
5. Past continuous: I said “She was studying all yesterday” - I said she was studying all
yesterday. ATAU I said she had been studying all yesterday
6. Present perfect: I said, “She has worked here for 5 years.” - I said she had worked here for
5 years.
7. Past perfect: I said, “She had worked here for 5 years.” - I said she had worked here for 5
years.
8. Future: I said, “She will work here from July.” - I said she would work here from July.
9. Future continuous: I said, “We’ll be living here for 6 months.” - I said we would be living
here for 6 months.
10.Can: I said, “She can play the piano well.” - I said she could play the piano well.
That

Reported speech sering diberikan sebagai bagian dari klausa-that, khususnya dalam bahasa tertulis dan bahasa yang lebih formal. Contoh:
*He said that he would arrive at 10.00.
*He said he would arrive at 10.00.

Kedua kalimat ini bermakna sama, dan that bisa dihilangkan tanpa ada perubahan makna.

SEKEDAR LEPAS

masihkah aku pantas untuk berpikir, apa-apa tentang perjalanan ini
masihkan aku pantas membuat keputusan?

aku ingin lepas darimu
kali ini
berubah menemani ilalang yang kesepian penyair

aku ingin menghilang disampingmu
ingin menikmati debur ombak, melukis langit dan mengukir hati dalam pasir

masihkah aku bisa meminta? sekedar terlepas darimu kali ini?
bukan karena cintaku luluh oleh waktu
namun, aku merasa tak berarti apa-apa dihadapanmu

bisakah kau dengar aku sekarang?
kukatakan ini padamu

aku ingin lepas darimu
berbisik lirih sendiri
pada angin di terjal pegunungan

jangan kau salah sangka
atau mengundang sendu di benderang rembulan ini
cintaku tetap kukurung
di hati yang terdalam

menyembunyikannya pada ombak,
rerumputan dan angin pegunungan

masihkah aku berucap perpisahan ini padamu?
sementara
sekedar mengikuti hati yang sendiri
menghabiskan waktu denganku sendiri






30 Maret 2010, semoga masih kau pahami cinta
