first maybe I want to write about.....

• Direct and Indirect Speech

>> DIRECT SPEECH
Direct speech is a speaker's actual words. In writing, we write direct speech with qoutation marks (".....")

>> INDIRECT SPEECH
Indirect speech is a report of what the announcement has said.

Example :
1. Conmand/request
Direct : Mrs.Chandra said to Vita "don't woorry about it"
Indirect : Mrs. Chandra told Vita not worry about it.

2. Question
Direct : Dyna asked "Are you a doctor?"
Indirect : Dyna asked whether I was doctor.

3. Statement
Direct : Mr.James said "I worked hard yesterday."
Indirect : Mr.James said that he work hard the day before.

>> In comand sentences,direct speech can change "Said" to be "Ordered","Told",and "Forbade".

>> There are 3 kind Indirect Speech

1. Imperrative ( command/request )
If you put a command into indirect speech, you remain changing of the person, backshif of tenses and changing of expresion of time. The form is mostly: to or not to + infinitive.

>> AFFIRMATIVE COMMANDS
Direct : Mother said to Icha "Icha,sweep the floor,please."
Indirect : Mother told Icha sweep the floor.

>> NEGATIVE COMMANDS
Direct : Yusni said to Nandi "turn on the fan, please"
Indirect : Yusni told Nandi to turn on the fan.

>> A QUESTION WITHOUT A QUESTION WORD(YES/NO QUESTION)
Direct : Rio asked me " When do you eat meatball ?"
Indirect : Rio asked me when I ate meatball.


>> TIME CHANGE
This (morning) to be That (morning)
Today to be Yesterday
These to be Those
Now to be Then
(a week) ago to be (a week) before
Here to be There
Tomorrow to be The Next Day

that's all about direct and indirect speech......
