PENGECUALIAN :
• Jika reported speech berhubungan dengan kebenaran umum atau fakta yang sudah
menjadi kebiasaan, maka simple present tense dalam reported speech tidak diubah ke
dalam bentuk lampau; tetapi tetap seperti apa adanya
• Jika reported speech merupakan kalimat tanya, reporting verb say atau tell diubah
menjadi ask. Dengan mengulangi kata tanya dan mengubah tenses jika pertanyaannya
dimulai dengan kata tanya diberitakan.
• Jika reported speech berupa kalimat perintah, reporting verb say atau tell harus diubah
menjadi kata kerja tertentu, misalnya ordered, commanded, advised, asked,begged.
