Vorbirea indirectă

(Indirect speech)
Introducere
Se folosește vorbirea indirectă pentru a transmite ceva ce altcineva a spus:

 Clara: "I’m tired." (vorbirea directă)


 Sonia: Clara said that she was tired. (vorbirea indirectă)

Când dorim să îi transmitem cuiva ceea ce altcineva a spus, putem repeta cuvintele persoanei
(vorbirea directă)

 Peter: She said "I’m hungry".

(folosim ghilimele atunci când transpunem vorbirea directă în scris)

sau putem folosi vorbirea indirectă:

 Peter: She said that she was hungry.

Form
În vorbirea indirectă, verbul principal se află, de obicei, la timpul trecut:

 He said ...
 She told me ...
 They asked ...

Timpul prezent din vorbirea directă este, de obicei, transformat în timp trecut în vorbirea
indirectă:

manager."
"We will do it." ➞ They said that they would do it.
"Ana can swim very well." ➞ I said that Ana could swim very well.

Verbul la trecutul simplu din vorbirea directă poate rămâne la trecutul simplu pentru


vorbirea indirectă sau poate să se transforme în mai mult ca perfect:

În vorbirea indirectă, se poate omite cuvântul "that":

 I said that she should have seen a doctor.
