Direct Speech / Quoted Speech
Mengatakan apa
kata seseorang disebut pidato langsung (terkadang disebut pidato dikutip)
Berikut apa seseorang mengatakan muncul dalam tanda kutip ("...") dan harus kata demi kata
Berikut apa seseorang mengatakan muncul dalam tanda kutip ("...") dan harus kata demi kata
For example:
She
said, "Today's lesson is on presentations."
Pidato langsung
(terkadang disebut pidato dilaporkan),
tidak menggunakan tanda kutip untuk menyertakan apa yang orang katakan dan tidak harus
kata demi kata.
Saat melaporkan pidato tegang biasanya berubah. Hal ini karena ketika kita menggunakan pidato dilaporkan, kita biasanya berbicara tentang waktu di masa lalu (karena sudah jelas orang yang berbicara awalnya berbicara di masa lalu). Kata kerja karena itu biasanya harus di masa lalu juga.
