the past participle. We use it when we’re more interested in the
object of a verb, or if the subject is unknown or obvious.

reported speech

Reported speech is a sentence that describes the


words of another person or himself to others
indirectly.
There are two types of reported speech:

1. Direct Speech is a sentence spoken directly


by the speaker.
2. Indirect Speech is a sentence uttered to report
the speaker's words to others.
Direct & Indirect Speech consists of 3 types,
namely:
1 3
statement question
. .

2 2
command
. .
1 statement

.
In the Reported Speech, the Statement category uses
the word that as a liaison between the introductory
sentence and the sentence that is reported.
example :
(introductory sentence) He said / told / says + that + reported sentence.

Command is divided into two parts,
namely:

2. Father asked her “Don’t go there 2. Father asked her not to go there

3 question

.
If a direct question uses question words, for example:
Where, When, Why, What, Who, How, etc.
These words are used as a liaison in the reported Speech.
The reported questions took a positive shape.
example :
Direct Speech Indirect Speech

1. The man asked me, “Where do you 1. The man asked me where I lived.

2. I asked him, “When did you from his trip.
get back from your trip ?” 3. John asked the girl what her name
3. John asked the girl, “What is your was.
name?”
If the direct question does not use question words and is only a question in the form of
"Yes & No Question", then use the words if, whether (if, what) as a link between the
introductory sentence and the question that is reported.
