He said that the police came to their house last night.<br />

I said to her that I had forgotten to return the library books.<br />

In this chapter we will learn how to report directly and indirectly in<br />

Indonesian.<br />

To report directly in Indonesian, we can use the following words.<br />

berkatdmengatakan (to say)<br />

bertanya (to ask a question)<br />

berujar (to say, to comment)<br />

bilang (to say) (informal)<br />

menambah (tq add)<br />

ora<br />

There are two ways to report or quote directly in Indonesian: one is by<br />

putting the 'he/she/we/Ilyoulthey said ...' part in front; the other is by<br />

putting it after we quote what was said.<br />
