Cara Paling Mudah Menyusun Reported Yes / No Questions

Pada postingan sebelumnya kita telah membahas tentang cara membuat kalimat tanya Yes / No Questions, dan pada kesempatan kali ini saya ingin berbagi materi tentang cara paling mudah menyusun reported Yes / No Questions.
Materi ini merupakan bagian dari materi reported speech. Reported speech dikenal juga sebagai Indirect speech atau jika diterjemahkan kita dapat memahaminya sebagai kalimat tidak langsung.
Kalimat tidak langsung sendiri adalah kalimat yang diucapkan oleh seseorang yang disampaikan kembali oleh orang yang berbeda kepada orang lain. Ada berbagai macam kalimat tidak langsung tapi untuk kesempatan kali ini kita akan fokus pada kalimat tanya tidak langsung atau Reported Yes / No Questions.

Ada beberapa hal yang harus diperhatikan pada saat kita ingin merubah kalimat tanya langsung menjadi kalimat tanya tidak langsung dalam bentuk Yes / No Questions (Reported Yes / No Questions).
Hal-hal yang harus diperhatikan adalah:

1. Perubahan bentuk Tenses.

Pada saat kita merubah kalimat langsung menjadi kalimat tidak langsung terutama dalam bentuk kalimat tanya, struktur kalimatnya akan berubah, termasuk bentuk tensesnya.
Berikut adalah perubahan tenses dari kalimat langsung menjadi kalimat tidak langsung.

KALIMAT LANGSUNG - KALIMAT TIDAK LANGSUNG
Simple Present Tense - Simple Past Tense
Present Continuous - Past Continuous
Present Perfect - Past Perfect
Simple Past Tense - Past Perfect
Present Perfect Continuous - Past Perfect Continuous
Past Continuous - Past Perfect Continuous
Simple Future Tense - Past Future Tense

Kalimat yang mengandung Modals
Will - Would
Must, Have to - Had to
May - Could, Might
Shall - Would / Should
May - Might
Can - Could

2. Perubahan Personal Pronoun (Kata ganti orang)

Harus diperhatikan juga bahwa Personal Pronoun (kata ganti orang) mengalami perubahan dari bentuk kalimat langsung menjadi kalimat tidak langsung.
Penjelasan lengkap tentang Pronoun dapat dipelajari pada postingan berjudul

5 Jenis Personal Pronouns: Penjelasan Lengkap dan Contohnya

3. Perubahan Adverb (Kata keterangan)

Beberapa jenis Adverb (kata keterngan) mengalami perubahan dari kalimat langsung menjadi kalimat tidak langsung.

KALIMAT LANGSUNG - KALIMAT TIDAK LANGSUNG
Now - Then / at that moment
Today - That day
Tomorrow - The following day / The next day / a day later
Yesterday - The previous day / The day before
Last week - The week before / The previous week
Last month - The month before / The previous month
Last year - The year before / The previous year
Next week - The week later / The following week
Next month - The month later / The following month
Next year - The year later / The following year
Here - There
This - That

Sedangkan pola atau rumus yang digunakan untuk menyusun Reported Yes / No Questions adalah:
(SUBJECT PRONOUN) ASKED (OBJECT PRONOUN) + IF / WHETHER + SUBJECT + TO BE / VERB + OBJECT
perubahan rumus tersebut mungkin terjadi tergantung dari tenses yang digunakan terutama pada bagian To be / Verb

Catatan:
Penggunaan If / Whether memiliki persamaan dalam makna.
Perbedaannya hanya pada tingkat keformalannya. Whether lebih formal daripada If.
Sedangkan If lebih sering atau paling umum digunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari.

Berikut ini adalah contoh perubahan kalimat tanya langsung menjadi kalimat tanya tidak langsung / Reported Yes / No Questions dalam berbagai bentuk tenses.
