REPORTED SPEECH

possvel relatar o que foi dito por algum de duas formas: utilizando o discurso direto (nesse caso apenas transcreve-se o que foi dito) e atravs do discurso indireto (quando optamos por contar com nossas prprias palavras o que foi dito). Ex.: Discurso direto: Bob said: I love Mary. (Bob disse: Eu amo a Mary). Discurso indireto: Bob said that he loved Mary. (Bob disse que ele amava a Mary). Discurso direto: Bob told Mary: I love you. (Bob disse { Mary: Eu te amo). Discurso indireto: Bob told Mary that he loved her. (Bob disse Mary que a amava). Diferena de said e told Apesar de ambos significarem disse, devemos usar said toda vez em que na frase no for mencionado com quem se est| falando.
