Assunto: REPORTED SPEECH

REPORTED SPEECH
Statements
H duas maneiras de relatar o que uma pessoa disse:

1. Atravs do discurso direto (direct speech), onde repetimos as palavras do orador as
quais devem estar inseridas entre aspas.
Eg.: Ann said, I am very tired.
Paul said: I want to buy this car.

2. Atravs do discurso indireto onde repetimos o que a pessoa disse indiretamente,
sendo que usando as nossas prprias palavras.
Eg.: Ann said she was very tired.
Paul said he wanted to buy that car.

NOTE: No discurso direto usamos dois pontos ou uma vrgula aps o verbo
introdutrio da orao.
Eg.: Pamela said, I am studying.
Peter said: Im going to Chicago on business.
Como transformar o discurso direto em indireto

1. Se o verbo introdutrio estiver no Simple Present, Present Continuous, Present
Perfect ou Simple future o tempo verbal no mudar no discurso indireto.
Eg.: Tom says, I worked hard yesterday.
He is saying: It may rain.
He has said: I am tired.
He will say, I need some rest.

2. Todavia, se o verbo introdutrio estiver no passado, ento, o verbo no discurso
indireto ter que ser mudado, conforme o quadro abaixo:
