DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH (PERCAKAPAN LANGSUNG DAN TAKLANGSUNG)

General Guidelines on Tense Usage A Noun Clause
(1)   If the reporting verb (the main verb of the sentence, e.g., said) is in the past, the verb in the noun clause will usually also be in the past form.

(2)   This formal sequence of tenses in the noun clauses is used in both speaking and writing. However sometimes in spoken English, no change is made in the noun clause verb, especially if the speaker is reporting something immediately or soon after it was said.
Immadiate reporting:
A: What did the teacher just say? I didn’t hear him.
B: He said he wants us to read Chapter Six.

Later reporting          
X: I didn’t go to class yesterday. Did Mr. Jones make any assignment?
Y: Yes. He said he wanted us to read Chapter Six

(3)   Also, sometimes the present tense is retained even in the formal English when the reported sentence deals with a general truth: She said that the world is round.

(4)   When the reporting verb is simple present tense, present perfect, or future, the noun clause verb is not changed.

Have a close look at the samples below!
She says, “I watch TV every day.”
She says she watches TV every day.
She has said, “I watch TV every Sunday.”
She has said that she watches TV every Sunday.
She will say, “I watch TV every night.”
She will say that she watces TV every night.
In reported speech, an imperative sentence is changed to an infinitive on. ‘Tell’ is used instead of ‘say’ as the reporting verb. Also note that ‘tell’ is immediately followed by a (pro) noun object, but ‘say’ ins not.
He told me he would be late. He said he would be late.
Also possible: He said to me he would be late.
