REPORTED SPEECH

Reported speech secara tidak langsung melaporkan apa yang dikatakan orang lain. Contoh:

Jane said she was so happy today.
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:

Direct Speech - I said, “She is in her office.”Reported Speech - I said she was in her office.

Apabila direct speech dalam bentuk past tense, maka reported speech menggunakan bentuk past perfect.

Direct Speech - I said, “She was in her office at lunchtime.”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.
