Reported Questions

Atunci cand trecem o intrebare din vorbirea directa in vorbirea

indirecta in limba engleza cuvantul cu WH (where/ what/ which/
etc.) se pastreaza dar nu se mai face inversiunea intre auxiliar si
subiect, subiectul se pune
imediat dupa cuvantul cu WH si pe urma se pune verbul
transformat:
Normal direct question: Wh-word + Aux + S + Verb?
Reported question: S + reporting verb + Wh-word + S + transformed Verb.
E.g. “ Where have you been?” he asked. (- Unde ai fost, a intrebat el.)
He asked me where I had been. (El m-a intrebat unde fusesem.)/ He asked me
where had I
been. (NU FACETI INVERSIUNE INTRE AUXILIAR SI SUBIECT)
Daca intrebarea in limba engleza se face cu un auxiliar atunci la vorbirea
indirecta
se foloseste IF sau WHETHER (daca) (!! atentile sa nu confundati cu
WEATHER care
inseamna vreme) dupa care urmeaza subiectul si verbul transformat (din nou
nu se mai
face inversiunea intre auxiliar si subiect)
Normal direct question: Aux + S + Verb?
Reported question : S + reporting verb + IF/WHETHER + S + transformed
verb.
E.g. “Do you like cats?” (-Iti plac pisicile?)
He asked me if/whether I liked cats. (El m-a intrebat daca imi placeau pisicile.)
!!!!!!!!!!! (Atentie daca aveti o intrebare la trecut, DID dispare iar verbul se pune
la Mai
mult ca Perfect)
“Did you see her?” (- Ai vazut-o?)
He asked me if/ whether I had seen saw her. (El m-a intrebat daca o vazusem.)
Reported Commands/ Requests/ Suggestions
Ordinele, cererile si sugestiile se introduc la vorbirea indirecta prin verbe ca:
advise,
ask, beg, offer, request, etc. care sunt urmate de Verb la Infinitiv Lung:
E.g. “Go away,” he said to me. => He ordered me to go away. (-Pleaca, el mi-a
spus. -> El mia
ordonat sa plec.)
“Please don’t shout,” he said to me. => He asked me not to shout. (- Te rog nu tipa,
el mia
spus. -> El m-a rugat sa nu tip.)
!!! Atentie: negatia la Infinitiv se face punand NOT in fata lui TO si nu intre TO si
verb: NOT
TO DRINK (a nu bea) si nu TO NOT DRINK
!!!!!!!! Dupa verbul Suggest se folosesc urmatoarele structuri:
suggest + Vb. –ing
suggest + that + S + should + Vb. Inf.
suggest + that + S + Vb. Short Inf
E.g. “Let’s see a film,” he said. => He suggested seeing a film. (El a sugerat sa
vedem un film.)
(- Hai sa vedem un film! a spus el.) He suggested that we should see a film. (El a
sugerat sa vedem un film.)
Hsueg gested that we see a film. (El a sugerat sa
vedem un film.)
He suggested to see a film. (Nu se pune Infinitiv
dupa suggest)
Reported Exclamations are paraphrases of direct exclamations (exclamatiile
se
parafrazeaza in vorbirea indirecta):
E.g. “How nice to meet you!” => He exclaimed he was delighted to meet me.
(-Incantat sa va intalnesc! -> El a exclamat ca era incantat sa ma intalneasca.)
“What a terrible day!” => He complained about the day.
(- Ce zi groaznica! -> El s-a plans de vreme.)
“Good evening!” => She greeted me./ She wished me a good evening.
(- Buna seara! -> Ea m-a salutat./ Ea mi-a dorit o seara buna.)
Indirect Questions (polite questions)
Direct question: Wh-word+Aux+S+Vb?
Indirect question: I wonder(ed)/I want(ed) to know (ma intreb/ ma intrebam/ vreau
sa stiu/
voiam sa stiu)+Wh-word+S+P.
Could you tell me/ Do you know/Did you know (Ati putea sa imi spuneti/ Stiti/
Stiati)+ Wh-word+S+P?
Eg."How much does it cost?" => "Could you tell me how much it costs?"/ how
much does it
cost?
(- Cat costa? -> Ati putea sa imi spuneti cat costa?)
"Where did she live?" => "I wanted to know where she lived."/ where did she live.
(- Unde locuia ea? -> Doream sa stiu unde locuia ea.)
Diferenta intre Intrebarile raportate si Intrebarile indirecte in limba engleza este
aceea ca
Intrebarile raportate sunt introduse prin "said, told, asked, etc." si sunt urmate de
verbe
care trebuie sa respecte transformarile de la vorbirea indirecta pe cand Intrebarile
indirecte
sunt de fapt intrebari politicoase introduse de expresii politicoase ca: "I wonder, I
want to
know, Could you tell me, etc." care nu sunt urmate neaparat de verbe
transformate.
Asemanarea dintre Intrebarile raportate si intrebarile indirecte este ca in ambele
nu se mai
face inversiunea intre auxiliar si subiect.

"Where is she?" => He asked where she was. "I want to know where she is."
(- Unde este ea? -> El m-a intrebat unde era ea. Vreau sa stiu unde este ea.)
