materi tentang reported speech

Reported Speech - Indirect Speech 

 Indirect Speech (also referred to as 'reported speech') refers to a sentence reporting what someone has said. 

1. If the reporting verb (i.e. said) is in the past, the reported clause will be in a past form. This form is usually one step back into the past from the original..

      For example:

  • He said the test was difficult.
  • She said she watched TV every day.
  • Jack said he came to school every day. 
 2. If simple present, present perfect or the future is used in the reporting verb (i.e. says) the tense is retained.
    
       For example:
  • He says the test is difficult.
  • She has said that she watches TV every day.
  • Jack will say that he comes to school every day. 
3. If reporting a general truth the present tense will be retained.

       For example:The teacher said that phrasal verbs are very important. 

Changing Pronouns and Time Signifiers

When changing from direct speech to indirect speech, it is often necessary to change the pronouns to match the subject of the sentence.

For example:
  • She said, "I want to bring my children." BECOMES She said she wanted to bring her children.
  • Jack said, "My wife went with me to the show." BECOMES Jack said his wife had gone with him to the show.
It is also important to change time words (signifiers) when referring to present, past or future time to match the moment of speaking.

      For example:
  • She said, "I want to bring my children tomorrow." BECOMES She said she wanted to bring her children the next day.
  • Jack said, "My wife went with me to the show yesterday." BECOMES Jack said his wife had gone with him to the show the day before. 
Indirect Questions

When reporting questions, it is especially important to pay attention to sentence order. When reporting yes/ no questions connect the reported question using 'if'. When reporting questions using question words (why, where, when, etc.) use the question word.

        For example:
  • She asked, "Do you want to come with me?" BECOMES She asked me if I wanted to come with her.
  • Dave asked, "Where did you go last weekend?" BECOMES Dave asked me where I had gone the previous weekend.
  • He asked, "Why are you studying English?" BECOMES She asked me why I was studying English.

tidak patut di contoh

In my opinion, the behavior above not feasible to emulated. imagine that, a  government that have to tell the community aspiration instead sleeping at the meeting.  evenwhile the community hope to them to fight for the people's fate.

opinion about flood


In my opinion, the government think that the community's problem just an usual thing. example : the flood problems. As though, they just say that just a little puddle. that makes the community aslo have an opinion that the government's care just like picture above. actually, the community must have an awareness because not only the government must be blamed but also the community inside. For example : throw the waste in the trash can and keep cleaning.
actually, the government and the community have to work together. the way is the government have to give the grants and the facilities to keep the environment cleans. one real example is give the counseling how to keep that environment. and the community can do it. that combination is needed in order the flood doesn't happen.
