Updated: 23 January 2026

Kamu berencana kuliah di luar negeri dan harus menghadapi tes IELTS atau TOEFL? Salah satu materi grammar yang pasti muncul adalah Direct and Indirect Speech! Tenang, artikel ini akan membantumu memahami konsep ini secara mendalam dengan cara yang menyenangkan. Kali ini SUN Educationa akan membahas secara komprehensif mengenai apa itu direct speech dan indirect speech, serta bagaimana perbedaan keduanya memengaruhi cara kita menyampaikan informasi.

Apa Itu Direct Speech?

Direct Speech adalah cara kamu menyampaikan perkataan seseorang dengan mengutip kata-katanya secara langsung tanpa mengubah apapun. Bayangkan kamu sedang menceritakan kembali percakapan kemarin dengan temanmu, lalu kamu mengutip persis apa yang dia katakan menggunakan tanda kutip (" "). Mudah kan?

Ciri-ciri Direct Speech

Selalu menggunakan tanda kutip (" ")
Kata-kata yang dikutip tidak berubah sama sekali
Ada tanda koma yang memisahkan pembicara dengan ucapannya
Huruf pertama dalam tanda kutip selalu kapital

Contoh Kalimat:

Sarah said, "I love studying English literature."
The professor told us, "Submit your assignment before Friday."
My roommate asked, "Can you help me with this math problem?"

Struktur Direct Speech

Untuk menyusun Direct Speech, ada beberapa aturan yang harus diperhatikan. Salah satunya adalah penggunaan tanda kutip (""). Tanda kutip digunakan untuk menandakan kata-kata yang diucapkan oleh seseorang. Misalnya:

Laporan langsung: John berkata, "Saya pergi ke toko."
Struktur kalimat: [Verba pelapor] + "kutipan kalimat"

Punctuation Rules

Selain tanda kutip, tanda baca lain seperti koma dan titik juga penting dalam direct speech. Misalnya, jika kalimat yang diucapkan memiliki lebih dari satu bagian, kita harus memisahkannya dengan tanda koma.

Contoh: She said, "I will come back later."
Contoh kedua: He said, "I am busy," and then walked away.

Perhatikan bahwa jika direct speech mengandung tanda tanya atau tanda seru, maka tanda baca tersebut tetap digunakan.

Contoh: She asked, "Where are you going?"
Contoh kedua: "Stop!" he shouted.

Selain itu, jika direct speech berada di tengah kalimat atau lebih panjang, kita biasanya menggunakan koma setelah verba pelapor (reporting verb). Pada umumnya, verba pelapor seperti "said", "asked", "told" digunakan untuk memperkenalkan direct speech. BACA JUGA: Apa Itu Kata Keterangan Bahasa Inggris? Simak Penjelasan dan Contohnya!

Apa Itu Indirect Speech?

Berbeda dengan Direct Speech, Indirect Speech adalah cara kamu menyampaikan perkataan orang lain dengan mengubahnya menjadi laporan atau narasi. Kamu tidak mengutip langsung kata-katanya, tetapi menceritakan kembali dengan sudut pandang berbeda. Dalam Indirect Speech, tidak ada tanda kutip yang digunakan.

Ciri-Ciri Indirect Speech:

Tidak menggunakan tanda kutip
Menggunakan kata penghubung seperti "that", "if", "whether"
Tenses biasanya berubah (backshift)
Kata ganti orang berubah sesuai konteks
Keterangan waktu dan tempat juga berubah

Contoh Kalimat:

Sarah said that she loved studying English literature.
The professor told us to submit our assignment before Friday.
My roommate asked if I could help her with that math problem.

Cara Membuat Indirect Speech

Mengubah direct speech menjadi indirect speech memerlukan beberapa penyesuaian, seperti perubahan tanda baca, kata ganti, dan perubahan pada tenses. Hal ini sering kali membingungkan bagi pembelajar bahasa Inggris, tetapi dengan mengikuti aturan yang ada, kamu bisa melakukannya dengan mudah.

Mengubah Tanda Baca dan Struktur Kalimat

Pada direct speech, ucapan seseorang disampaikan secara langsung, dan biasanya ditandai dengan tanda kutip (quotation marks). Contoh:

Direct Speech: She said, "I am going to the store." Ketika kalimat ini diubah menjadi indirect speech, tanda kutip dihilangkan dan kata pengantar atau reporting verb ditambahkan, seperti "said" atau "told", diikuti oleh perubahan pada struktur kalimat.
Indirect Speech: She said that she was going to the store.

Penting untuk diingat bahwa dalam indirect speech, kata "that" sering digunakan untuk menghubungkan direct speech dan indirect speech, meskipun kata ini bisa dihilangkan dalam beberapa kasus, terutama dalam kalimat afirmatif.

Perubahan Tenses (Tense Shift)

Salah satu perubahan paling umum yang terjadi ketika mengubah direct speech menjadi indirect speech adalah perubahan pada tense (waktu). Secara umum, verb tense dalam direct speech akan bergeser ke waktu yang lebih lampau pada indirect speech. Berikut adalah beberapa aturan perubahan tenses yang perlu kamu ingat:

Present Simple menjadi Past Simple Direct Speech: "I eat pizza." Indirect Speech: He said that he ate pizza.
Present Continuous menjadi Past Continuous Direct Speech: "I am studying." Indirect Speech: She said that she was studying.
Present Perfect menjadi Past Perfect Direct Speech: "I have finished my homework." Indirect Speech: She said that she had finished her homework.

Namun, beberapa kata kerja modal seperti could, might, should, dan would tidak mengalami perubahan tenses ketika digunakan dalam indirect speech. Misalnya,

Direct Speech: "I could help you."
Indirect Speech: He said that he could help me.

Perubahan Kata Ganti (Pronouns)

Selain perubahan pada tense, perubahan kata ganti (pronouns) juga merupakan aspek penting dalam mengubah direct speech menjadi indirect speech. Kata ganti dalam direct speech harus disesuaikan dengan konteks kalimat indirect speech, tergantung siapa yang melaporkan percakapan tersebut. Contoh:

Direct Speech: She said, "I will call you tomorrow."
Indirect Speech: She said that she would call me the next day.

Di sini, "I" berubah menjadi "she", dan "you" berubah menjadi "me", sesuai dengan perspektif pelapor.

Perubahan Kata Keterangan Waktu dan Tempat (Adverbs)

Adverbia yang menunjukkan waktu dan tempat juga perlu disesuaikan. Kata-kata seperti "today," "tomorrow," dan "here" akan berubah dalam indirect speech. Misalnya:

Direct Speech: "We will meet here tomorrow."
Indirect Speech: They said that they would meet there the next day

Pengecualian dan Modifikasi

Pada beberapa kalimat, perubahan tense tidak selalu diperlukan. Jika laporan kalimat berfokus pada fakta yang berlaku saat ini atau jika pembicara masih berbicara tentang sesuatu yang relevan di masa kini, tense bisa tetap sama. Misalnya:

Contoh: "I am busy," she says. → She says that she is busy. (Karena ini adalah pernyataan yang masih berlaku saat ini).

Begitu juga dengan kalimat perintah atau instruksi. Dalam indirect speech, kalimat perintah atau larangan sering menggunakan kata kerja seperti told, ordered, advised untuk menggambarkan tindakan.

Contoh: "Close the door!" he ordered. → He ordered me to close the door.

Perbedaan antara Direct dan Indirect Speech

Meskipun keduanya berfungsi untuk melaporkan ucapan atau pemikiran, ada beberapa perbedaan utama antara direct speech dan indirect speech:

Penggunaan Tanda Kutip: Pada direct speech, kata-kata yang dilaporkan selalu ditulis dalam tanda kutip (" "), sedangkan pada indirect speech, tanda kutip tidak digunakan.
Perubahan Struktur Kalimat: Pada indirect speech, kalimat yang dilaporkan disesuaikan dengan struktur kalimat baru, termasuk perubahan tense (waktu), pronoun (kata ganti), dan keterangan waktu atau tempat. Misalnya, present tense dalam direct speech akan berubah menjadi past tense dalam indirect speech, tergantung pada reporting verb yang digunakan.
Kata Penghubung: Dalam indirect speech, kita sering menggunakan kata penghubung seperti that untuk menghubungkan kalimat pelapor dengan kalimat yang dilaporkan. Meskipun penggunaan that bersifat opsional, kata ini mempermudah pemahaman dan struktur kalimat.

Rumus Perubahan dari Direct ke Indirect Speech

Perubahan Pronoun (Kata Ganti Orang)

Ketika kamu mengubah Direct Speech menjadi Indirect Speech, kata ganti orang harus disesuaikan dengan sudut pandang si pelapor. Ini seperti kamu bercerita tentang orang lain, bukan mengutip langsung.

Pola perubahan:

I, me, my, mine → disesuaikan dengan subjek kalimat utama
You, your, yours → disesuaikan dengan objek kalimat utama
We, us, our → disesuaikan konteksnya

Contoh Kalimat

Direct: Jessica said to me, "I will bring my laptop to your house."
Indirect: Jessica told me that she would bring her laptop to my house.
Direct: The teacher said to the students, "You must complete your homework."
Indirect: The teacher told the students that they must complete their homework.

Perubahan Tenses (Bentuk Waktu)

Ini bagian yang paling tricky! Ketika main clause (kalimat utama) menggunakan Past Tense, maka kamu harus melakukan backshift atau mundur satu tingkat dalam tenses. Perhatikan tabel lengkapnya:

Dari Present ke Past:

Simple Present → Simple Past Contoh: "I study every day" → He said he studied every day
Present Continuous → Past Continuous Contoh: "I am reading a novel" → She said she was reading a novel
Present Perfect → Past Perfect Contoh: "I have finished the project" → He said he had finished the project
Present Perfect Continuous → Past Perfect Continuous Contoh: "I have been waiting for an hour" → She said she had been waiting for an hour

Dari Future ke Past Future:

Simple Future (will) → Would Contoh: "I will travel to London" → He said he would travel to London
Future Continuous → Would be + V-ing Contoh: "I will be studying tonight" → She said she would be studying that night
Future Perfect → Would have + V3 Contoh: "I will have graduated by June" → He said he would have graduated by June

Dari Past ke Past Perfect:

Simple Past → Past Perfect Contoh: "I visited Paris last year" → She said she had visited Paris the year before
Past Continuous → Past Perfect Continuous Contoh: "I was working late" → He said he had been working late

Modal Verbs juga berubah:

Can → Could
Will → Would
May → Might
Must → Had to
Shall → Should

Contoh lengkap dengan berbagai tenses:

Direct: Tom said, "I can speak three languages fluently."
Indirect: Tom said that he could speak three languages fluently.
Direct: Maria mentioned, "I may apply for a scholarship next semester."
Indirect: Maria mentioned that she might apply for a scholarship the following semester.

Perubahan Adverbs (Keterangan Waktu dan Tempat)

Nah, ini juga penting! Keterangan waktu dan tempat harus disesuaikan dengan konteks waktu si pelapor, bukan pembicara asli.

Adverb of Time (Keterangan Waktu):

Now → Then
Today → That day
Tonight → That night
Tomorrow → The next day / The following day
Yesterday → The day before / The previous day
Next week → The following week
Last month → The month before / The previous month
Two days ago → Two days before
This week → That week

Adverb of Place (Keterangan Tempat):

Here → There
This → That
These → Those

Contoh aplikasi:

Direct: Kevin said, "I will submit my application tomorrow."
Indirect: Kevin said that he would submit his application the next day.
Direct: Linda mentioned, "I saw the dean here yesterday."
Indirect: Linda mentioned that she had seen the dean there the day before.

Tiga Bentuk Perubahan Direct Indirect Speech

1. Statement (Pernyataan)

Untuk kalimat pernyataan, gunakan kata penghubung "that" (bisa dihilangkan).

Contoh baru:

Direct: Amanda said, "I have received the acceptance letter from Oxford University."
Indirect: Amanda said (that) she had received the acceptance letter from Oxford University.
Direct: The academic advisor told me, "Your GPA is excellent for graduate school."
Indirect: The academic advisor told me (that) my GPA was excellent for graduate school.

2. Question (Pertanyaan)

Ada dua jenis pertanyaan yang harus kamu perhatikan:

a. Yes/No Question (menggunakan if/whether)

Ketika pertanyaan tidak menggunakan kata tanya, gunakan "if" atau "whether" yang artinya "apakah".

Contoh baru:

Direct: The interviewer asked, "Have you studied abroad before?"
Indirect: The interviewer asked if/whether I had studied abroad before.
Direct: My friend asked me, "Will you join the international student club?"
Indirect: My friend asked me if/whether I would join the international student club.

b. WH-Question (menggunakan kata tanya)

Pertanyaan dengan kata tanya (who, what, when, where, why, how) tetap menggunakan kata tanya yang sama, tapi susunannya berubah menjadi pola pernyataan (bukan pertanyaan).

Pola: Kata Tanya + Subjek + Verb

Contoh baru:

Direct: The professor asked, "Why did you choose this major?"
Indirect: The professor asked why I had chosen that major.
Direct: Sarah wondered, "How can I improve my English speaking skills?"
Indirect: Sarah wondered how she could improve her English speaking skills.
Direct: The counselor asked, "What are your career goals after graduation?"
Indirect: The counselor asked what my career goals after graduation were.

3. Command/Request (Perintah/Permintaan)

Untuk kalimat perintah atau permintaan, gunakan pola: to + Verb 1 (untuk perintah positif) atau not to + Verb 1 (untuk larangan).

Reporting verb juga berubah sesuai konteks:

Say/tell → order, command (memerintahkan)
Say/tell → advise (menasihati)
Say/tell → ask, request (meminta)
Say/tell → beg (memohon)
Say/tell → forbid, warn (melarang, memperingatkan)

Contoh:

Direct: The librarian said, "Please return the books on time."
Indirect: The librarian asked us to return the books on time.
Direct: My supervisor ordered, "Submit the report by Monday morning!"
Indirect: My supervisor ordered me to submit the report by Monday morning.
Direct: The security guard warned, "Don't park your car in this area."
Indirect: The security guard warned us not to park our car in that area.
Direct: My tutor advised, "Practice English conversation every day."
Indirect: My tutor advised me to practice English conversation every day.

Penggunaan Common Reporting Verbs dalam Direct dan Indirect Speech

Dalam bahasa Inggris, ada banyak reporting verbs yang bisa digunakan untuk melaporkan apa yang dikatakan seseorang. Namun, ada beberapa common reporting verbs yang paling sering digunakan, seperti "say," "tell," "ask," "advise," dan "suggest." Setiap kata kerja ini memiliki peran penting dalam bagaimana kita mengubah direct speech menjadi indirect speech.

Say vs Tell dalam Indirect Speech

Dua kata kerja yang paling sering digunakan dalam direct and indirect speech adalah "say" dan "tell." Keduanya digunakan untuk melaporkan apa yang dikatakan seseorang, tetapi ada perbedaan dalam penggunaannya.

Say digunakan ketika kita ingin melaporkan ucapan seseorang tanpa menyebutkan penerima ucapan tersebut. Sebagai contoh:
- Direct speech: "I like pizza," she said.
- Indirect speech: She said (that) she liked pizza.
Tell, di sisi lain, membutuhkan objek langsung (biasanya orang yang mendengarkan ucapan) dan sering diikuti dengan "to" atau "that." Misalnya:
- Direct speech: "You should study harder," he told me.
- Indirect speech: He told me (that) I should study harder.

Menggunakan say atau tell dapat memengaruhi bagaimana kita mengonversi kalimat ke dalam indirect speech. Say lebih sering digunakan dalam laporan yang lebih umum, sedangkan tell memberikan nuansa lebih spesifik karena menunjukkan siapa yang diberi tahu.

Reporting Verbs Lain: Ask, Advise, Suggest

Selain say dan tell, ada pula beberapa reporting verbs lain yang sering digunakan, tergantung pada konteks ucapan yang dilaporkan.

Ask digunakan untuk melaporkan pertanyaan. Dalam indirect speech, kita perlu mengubah urutan kata dari pertanyaan menjadi kalimat biasa. Sebagai contoh:
- Direct speech: "What time is it?" she asked.
- Indirect speech: She asked what time it was.
Advise digunakan untuk menyarankan sesuatu kepada seseorang, dan sering diikuti dengan to-infinitive:
- Direct speech: "You should take a break," he advised me.
- Indirect speech: He advised me to take a break.
Suggest sering digunakan untuk memberikan saran yang lebih umum dan bisa diikuti dengan that-clause atau verb-ing:
- Direct speech: "I suggest going to the beach," she suggested.
- Indirect speech: She suggested going to the beach.
