Peluang usaha adalah adanya kesempatan dimana seseorang atau sekelompok organisasi tertentu untuk mendapatkan dan menjalankan suatu usaha atau bisnis.
Di tahun 2011 ini, indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang memiliki peluang usaha terbesar, sehingga banyak negara negara tetangga yang datang untuk mengambil kesempatan ini.
banyak contoh dari peluang usaha, diantaranya :
1. peluang usaha pakaian
2. peluang usaha waralaba
3. peluang usaha otomotif
4. peluang usaha binatang peliharaan
5. peluang usaha online
6. peluang usaha dalam bidang jasa
di tahun 2011 ini, pembisnis banyak mengunakan peluang usaha dalam bidang online karna lebih mudah penggunaan dan lebih banyak manfaatnya. selain itu menggunakan peluang usaha online juga membuat penggunanya lebih mudah di kenal atau diketahui oleh konsumen yang berminat.
Di Indonesia terdapat sekitar 1.700 peluang usaha yang bisa dikembangkan. Jika konsep usaha waralaba (franchise) mampu diterapkan dalam mengembangkan usaha tersebut, Indonesia bisa menghasilkan ribuan pengusaha baru.
karena konsep usaha waralaba ini diharap dapat membantu menciptakan perekonomian indonesia akan menjadi lebih baik dari yang sekarang kita ketahui.
Dikatakan bahwa tahun 2015 Indonesia akan menjadi pasar tunggal, mulai sekarang perlu mendorong peluang peluang usaha ini. Untuk itu, perlu bantuan pemerintah termasuk pemberian fasilitas permodalan.

Indirect Speech / Reported Speech
Indirect speech (sometimes called reported speech), doesn't use quotation marks to enclose what the person said and it doesn't have to be word for word.
When reporting speech the tense usually changes. This is because when we use reported speech, we are usually talking about a time in the past (because obviously the person who spoke originally spoke in the past). The verbs therefore usually have to be in the past too.For example:
Direct speech | Indirect speech |
---|---|
"I'm going to the cinema", he said. | He said he was going to the cinema. |
Verb tense changes also characterize other situations using indirect speech. Note the changes shown in the chart and see the table below for examples. With indirect speech, the use of that is optional.
Direct Speech | Þ | Indirect Speech |
simple present He said, “I go to school every day.” | Þ | simple past He said (that) he went to school every day. |
simple past He said, “I went to school every day.” | Þ | past perfect He said (that) he had gone to school every day. |
present perfect He said, “I have gone to school every day.” | Þ | past perfect He said (that) he had gone to school every day. |
present progressive He said, “I am going to school every day.” | Þ | past progressive He said (that) he was going to school every day. |
past progressive He said, “I was going to school every day.” | Þ | perfect progressive He said (that) he had been going to school every day, |
future (will) He said, “I will go to school every day.” | Þ | would + verb name He said (that) he would go to school every day. |
future (going to) He said, “I am going to school every day.” | Þ | present progressive He said (that) he is going to school every day. |
past progressive He said (that) he was going to school every day | ||
Direct Speech | Þ | Indirect Speech |
auxiliary + verb name He said, “Do you go to school every day?” He said, “Where do you go to school?” | Þ | simple past He asked me if I went to school every day.* He asked me where I went to school. |
imperative He said, “Go to school every day.” | Þ | infinitive He said to go to school every day. |
*Note than when a Yes/No question is being asked in direct speech, then a construction with if or whether is used. If a WH question is being asked, then use the WH to introduce the clause. Also note that with indirect speech, these are examples of embedded questions. The situation changes if instead of the common said another part of the very to say is used. In that case the verb tenses usually remain the same. Some examples of this situation are given below. |
Direct Speech | Þ | Indirect Speech |
simple present + simple present He says, “I go to school every day.” | Þ | simple present + simple present He says (that) he goes to school every day. |
present perfect + simple present He has said, “I go to school every day.” | Þ | present perfect + simple present He has said (that) he goes to school every day. |
past progressive + simple past He was saying, “I went to school every day.” | Þ | past progressive + simple past He was saying (that) he went to school every day. |
past progressive + past perfect He was saying (that) he had gone to school every day. | ||
future + simple present He will say, “I go to school every day.” | Þ | future + simple present He will say (that) he goes to school every day. |
Another situation is the one in which modal constructions are used. If the verb said is used, then the form of the modal, or another modal that has a past meaning is used. |
Direct Speech | Þ | Indirect Speech |
can He said, “I can go to school every day.” | Þ | could He said (that) he could go to school every day. |
may He said, “I may go to school every day.” | Þ | might He said (that) he might go to school every day. |
might He said, “I might go to school every day.” | ||
must He said, “I must go to school every day.” | Þ | had to He said (that) he had to go to school every day. |
have to He said, “I have to go to school every day.” | ||
should He said, “I should go to school every day.” | Þ | should He said (that) he should go to school every day. |
ought to He said, “I ought to go to school every day.” | Þ | ought to He said (that) he ought to go to school every day. |
While not all of the possibilities have been listed here, there are enough to provide examples of the main rules governing the use of indirect or reported speech. For other situations, try to extrapolate from the examples here, or better still, refer to a good grammar text or reference book. Some other verbs that can be used to introduce direct speech are: ask, report, tell, announce, suggest, and inquire. They are not used interchangeably; check a grammar or usage book for further information. |
