Summary of Direct and Indirect Sentences

Good Morning.

Halo, friends. On this occasion, I want to explain about "Direct and Indirect Speech" briefly.

On my oppinion, in my opinion, the word that matches this material is not "speech", but "sentence".  because,So,  in the future I will use the word "sentence" in the discussion of this material.

1.  Direct Sentences.

A direct sentence is a sentence that describes the results of a direct quote from the conversation of someone who is exactly like what he said. 

Characteristics of Direct Sentences :

a. In direct sentences, quotation marks are marked with quotation marks. 

b. The first letter of the sentence is quoted using a capital letter. 

c. Excerpts and accompaniment sentences are separated by punctuation (,) commas. 

d. Direct sentences in the form of sequential dialogs must use the colon punctuation (:) in front of the direct sentence. 

e. Sentences are directly spoken or read with more emphasis on intonation. 

f. Arrangement Pattern: 

       speaker, "quote" 

       "Quote," speaker

       "Quote," speaker, "quote" 

       

h. The way to read the quotation sentence is slightly suppressed.

How to Write Sentences Directly

In writing direct sentences there are several things that must be considered, especially the use of

 punctuation, including:

    1. Excerpts are enclosed in quotation marks (") instead of quotes (‘).

    2. The closing quotation marks are placed after the punctuation marks which end the quotation marks.

Example:

   Rina said, "I will go on vacation next month." (Correct)

  Rina said, "I will go on vacation next month". (Wrong)

  "The shirt is dirty," said Melati (Right)

  "Clothes are good," said Melati. " (Wrong)

 

   3. Accompaniment sentences must end with a comma, sometimes a colon and a space if the 

       accompanying sentence part is before the quotation sentence.

         Example:

                Rika asked, "Where are you going today?"

              "Where are you going today?" Rika asked. (Correct)

              "Where are you going today?" Rika asked. (Wrong)

   4. If there are 2 excerpt sentences, the first letter of the first sentence is in capital letters. 

       Whereas the second sentence uses lowercase except for the person's name and greeting words.

         Example:

  

              "Try asking father," said the mother, "he will definitely give it."

             Nino said, "The bag I used is expensive," whereas Rudi said, "Nino bag is cheap."

Examples of Direct Sentences

    a. Father said, "Please get a hat on the table!"

    b. "That's your fault!" Reni said to Rini.

    c. "Who threw this eraser?" asked the teacher.

    d. "Neni, you are sought after by teacher," Romli said, "he is waiting for you in front of the class."

    e.  Rama said: "I want to be a captain someday." 

2. Indirect Sentences 

A sentence that reports or informs the words of another person in the form of a news sentence.

Quoted again by someone from the party / person who said so that the writing is not original or 

not exactly the same or only a part of it. 

Characteristics of Indirect Sentences

    1. The intonation reads it flat.

    2. Do not use quotation marks.

    3. There are changes in people's pronouns, namely:

        - first person pronouns change to third person.

        - "I", "I" become "Him" or "He"

        - The seoncd person pronoun changes to first person.

        - "You" "He" becomes "me" or someone's name

        - The second and first plural pronouns change to "we", "us" and "them"

     Example:

         Mother said, "He is a diligent child."

         Mother said that Susi was a diligent child

AUTHOBIOGRAPHY

Good morning.

I'm Afriadi Ramadhan. For me time is always morning. When new enthusiasm arises again.

when one tiring day passes again.

Seventeen years ago, Mother gave birth to me in Makassar on November 1. The youngest of

five siblings. Live in a simple, happy family.My father has retired from his job as a civil servant.

Whereas Mother still works in the kitchen every day.My father's name is Mustamin and my 

mother Hasmawati. Two bloody Enrekang beings who united and bound the sacred promise 

forty years ago.

I first felt the sweet and bitter education at the age of seven. Enter elementary school without 

going through kindergarten. Then I continued at MTsN 02 Makassar. And now, i'm still studying

 at MANPK Makassar City, one of ten religious program schools pioneered by the Indonesian 

Ministry of Religion. There are piles of stories I got in school days. Stories about difficulties in 

learning, heavy memorization, tense exam period, and sad day of graduation. However, that 

is not what I want to tell you now. Although it is still within the scope of the school, this is not 

about learning, but friendship.

The most valuable treasure is friends after family. When I was pessimistic, I doubted whether

 I wanted to run for Student Council president or not. My friend is the most enthusiastic. None

 of them suggested to retreat, surrender before fighting. They pushed me from behind. Starting

 from the beginning to the end.From the preparation of the vision and mission to the calculation

 of ballots, it was never empty of the support of my friends. 

 One night before the candidate's debate schedule, everyone gathered in a room. prepare 

everything that needs to be prepared.Until finally, I won the election. Elected to be the president 

of student council. Inaugurated and sworn in by the sound of screams from friends. 

I let them do it. This victory is for them. I will fulfill my mandate as student council president to

 repay the kindness of my friends.

From that, I learned something very important for myself and for anyone who reads this

 autobiography. That we are never alone. Friends are an important element in our lives. We cannot

 live alone without the help of friends. Even if we succeed later, I'm sure we still need friends.
