EXPLANATION

Ketika ingin melaporkan ulang "Direct question" dari sepuluh kalimat yang ditanyakan di atas, kalian perlu mengubah pertanyaan² tersebut menjadi bentuk afirmatif, di mana kata kerja "noun clause" mengalami "backshift" (mundur satu tingkatan tenses).

Jika pertanyaannya berupa pertanyaan "Yes/No", gunakanlah "If" atau "Whether" untuk mendeklarasikan informasinya.

Contoh:

D S= "Can we borrow your ladder?" we asked the painter.

I.D.S = We asked the painter whether/if we could borrow his ladder.

Pertanyaan "Direct" mengalami perubahan ke bentuk afirmatif dengan menggunakan "whether." "Verb tense" juga mundur satu tingkatan ke bentuk "Past simple." Kemudian, possessive determiner "your" berubah ke "his" berdasarkan kedudukan si pelapor.

Jika pertanyaannya menggunakan "Question words (What, where, when, who, why), kalian tetap menggunakan "Question words" tersebut tetapi bentuk kalimat tanyanya dirubah ke bentuk afirmatif.

Contoh:

D.S= "Where is the nearest telephone booth?" the stranger inquired.

I.D.S= The stranger inquired where the nearest telephone booth was.

Pertanyaan "Question word" berubah ke bentuk afirmatif di mana "Question word (Where)" tetap digunakan.

N.B.

Jika "reporting verb" berbentuk lampau (said, told, asked), "noun clause verb" mengalami "backshift."
