Reported speech
When we report someone’s words we can do it in two ways. We can use direct speechwith quotation marks (“I work in a bank”), or we can use reported speech (He said he worked in a bank.)
In reported speech the tenses, word-order and pronouns may be different from those in the original sentence.
Present simple and present continuous tenses
Present simple and present continuous tenses
- Direct speech: “I travel a lot in my job” Reported speech: He said that he travelled a lot in his job.
The present simple tense (I travel) usually changes to the past simple (he travelled) in reported speech.
- Direct speech: “Be quiet. The baby’s sleeping.” Reported speech: She told me to be quiet because the baby was sleeping.
The present continuous usually changes to the past continuous.

Hallo kak, time signal di reported speech berubah apa engga ya?
BalasHapusHai Izdihar, untuk time signal kalo soalnya spesifik misalnya ada soal cerita, itu berubah. tapi untuk soal yang langsung meminta dirubah ke reported speech, itu tidak usah dirubah. terus untuk reported speech secara langsung atau orally, itu time signal berubah. semoga membantu, terima kasih.
Hapus
