Kesimpulan
Contoh soal direct and indirect speech membantu memahami perubahan kalimat langsung menjadi kalimat tidak langsung dan sebaliknya. Perubahan yang perlu diperhatikan meliputi tense, kata ganti, kata penunjuk, keterangan waktu, modal, serta pola kalimat perintah dan pertanyaan.
Dalam direct speech, perkataan seseorang disampaikan secara langsung menggunakan tanda petik. Sementara itu, indirect speech melaporkan kembali perkataan tersebut tanpa mengutipnya secara langsung. Penguasaan pola perubahan tersebut akan membantu dalam mengerjakan berbagai latihan grammar Bahasa Inggris dengan lebih tepat.
