Reported Speech

video : verb changes at reported speech

From the video above you can keep in your mind and question what is reported speech actually.

"If we report what another person has said, we usually do not use the speaker’s exact words (direct speech), but reported (indirect) speech. Therefore, you need to learn how to transform direct speech into reported speech. The structure is a little different depending on whether you want to transform a statement, question or request"

nah,,,  there are things that you should change in here, they are :

1. verb, tobe, or modal

2. pronoun

nah disitu kalian harus pikir, soalnya kalo misal kalian salah mengunakan pronoun,,, maka kerjaannya jadi ga jelas lho.....

misal kan, " I can help your sister " said Andy  diubah menjadi Andy said to me  that I could help your sister 

kan jadinya ga lucu kalo begitu,,,, seharusnya yang benar adalah Andy said to me that He could help my sister. Jadi Pronoun juga penting yah,,,, 

THERE ARE SEVERAL THING THAT YOU MAY CONCERN IN HERE

1. LOOK AT THE TENSES

2. LOOK AT TOBE, MODAL

3. CHANGE INTO PAST FORM

when you meet a direct speech in question type ( yes or no, WH question) you must change it into a sentence not a question: 

Neh contohnya

YES OR NO QUESTION
Do you like me?	She asked to me If I liked her
Did you like me?	She asked to me if I had liked her
Can you help him?	He asked to me if I could help him
Have she seen my wallet?	He asked to me if she had seen his wallet
Ketika kalian bertemu kalimat Tanya Yes or No,,, penting sekali menggunakan IF dan kemudian menggatinya dalam bentuk past form

 Nah tadi itu kan YES or NO....selanjutnya adalah,,,

WH Question
Who is that girl?	He asked to me who that girl was
Where do you live?	She asked to me where I lived
Why do you love her?	He asked to me why I loved her
Why did you love her?	He asked to me  why I had loved her
Ketika kalian bertemu kalimat Tanya WH,,, penting sekali untuk mengubah kalimat Tanya menjadi kalimat biasa, dan selalu mengganti dalam bentuk past form dari kalimat Tanya tersebut

nah itu sebagian ajah sihh,,,,,
