a. Study how to use an indirect speech in telling a story

In a story, a character may ask something. We call it a direct speech.

For example: ‘Do you know the name of this place?’ asked Princess Pipit.
When we tell a story, we may need to describe or to report what the characters said in the story. 

To do this, we can make a direct speech into an indirect speech.

For example:

• Direct speech: ‘Do you know the name of this place?’ asked Princess Pipit 
• Indirect speech: Princess Suripit asked if the man knew the name of the place.

In an indirect speech, we change the question structure (e.g. Do you know) to a statement structure (e.g. the man knew).

Look at more examples for yes/no questions and wh- questions.

In questions, we use if or whether to report the question. If is more common.

• Direct speech: Monita asked, “Do you know SMP Merdeka?” 
• Indirect speech: Monita asked if the man knew SMP Merdeka.

In wh-questions, we use what, where, why, who, when or how to report the question.

• Direct speech: “What date is it today?” asked Monita. 
• Indirect speech: Monita asked what day it was.
• Direct speech: Monita asked, “Where can I buy this newspaper?” 
• Indirect speech: Monita asked where she could buy the newspaper.
