Kalimat perintah :

Direct Speech : She said, “Don’t do that again!” (Dia berkata, “Jangan lakukan itu lagi!)

Indirect Speech : She told me to don’t  do that again. (dia mengatakan kepadaku untuk tidak melakukannya lagi!)

Direct Speech : She said, “Do your task now!”(Dia berkata, “Kerjakan tugas mu sekarang!)

Indirect Speech : She said to me to do my task then. (Dia mengatakan kepadaku untuk mengerjakan tugas ku nanti)

Direct : My aunt said, “Do not spill it on the sofa!”(Bibiku berkata, “Jangan tumpahkan itu diatas sofa!)

Indirect : My aunt told me not to spill it on the sofa. (Bibiku mengatakan bahwa jangan menumpahkan itu diatas karpet)

Catatan :

Yang perlu kalian perhatikan dalam kalimat perintah adalah to dan not to untuk Indirect Speech (bila kalimat itu dimulai dengan don’t di Direct Speech)

Indirect : She asked me what my occupation was. (Dia menanyakan kepadaku apa pekerjaanku)

Indirect : She asked me where I come from. (Dia menanyakanku darimana aku berasal?)

Direct : “Do you know the real story?” (Apakah kamu tahu cerita yang sebenarnya?)

Indirect : He asked me if (whether) I knew the real story. (Dia menanyakanku apakah saya tahu cerita yang sebenarnya?)

Untuk kata-kata pertanyaan  5 W+1H (what, where, why, how, when, etc), teman – teman harus menempatkan dan menyesuaikan tensesnya terlebih dahulu. Tetapi bila tidak ada kata Tanya, teman – teman bisa memulainya dengan if atau whether.

Dalam mengubah kalimat tanya menjadi kalimat berita, tanda tanya kalimat itu diganti dengan titik (bukan bertanya lagi) di dalam indirect speech.
