  2. El estilo indirecto (reportedspeech) se usa para contar lo que alguien ha dicho sin citar exactamente sus palabras. Podemos contar en presente lo que alguien acaba de decir, para lo cual basta Con quitar las comillas y cambiar el pronombre sujeto y la persona del verbo. “ Iamtired” He saysthatheistired Pero lo normal es que el verbo que introduce la subordinada en estilo indirecto (say o tell, normalmente) vaya en pasado, y entonces el cambio más importante es que el verbo de la subordinada da un salto atrás ( de present simple a Past simple, de éste a pastperfect, etc) “Ilikenoodles” He saidthathelikednoodles

  3. Además de suprimir las comillas y cambiar los tiempos verbales, también es necesario que hagamos algunos cambios en los pronombres y en las expresiones de tiempo y de lugar. La oración subordinada va introducida por “ that” , aunque en inglés hablado se suele omitir. Cuando la frase enuncia una verdad general no hay cambio en los tiempos verbales. “Crimeispunishedbythelaw”, shesaid Shesaidthatcrimeispunishedbythelaw

  4. Cambios en los tiempos verbales

  5. Cambios en los modales Can May Must / haveto Will Could Might Must / hadto Would Cambios en otras palabras

  6. Reportedquestions • Hay dos tipos de preguntas: • LAS YES / NO QUESTIONS son las que se contestan con un “si” o un “no”. • para ponerlas en estilo indirecto utilizamos el verbo ask, y a continuación if o whether. • Entonces la pregunta deja de serlo y se convierte en una frase afirmativa, ya no hay • inversión sujeto-verbo(A+S+V), ni signo de interrogación, ni comillas. • “Didyouspeakto John lastnight?” Sheasked • Sheaskedif / whether I hadspokento John lastnight aux suj verb

  7. LAS WH-QUESTIONS son las que empiezan por una palabra interrogativa (Wh- word) • Al pasarlas al estilo indirecto ponemos dicha palabra (wh-) y luego el sujeto + verbo. • ►Whotoldyouthatstory? Sheasked • Sheaskedwhohadtoldusthatstory • ►Wheredidyougolastsummer? He asked me • He asked me where I hadgonetheprevioussummer Who are youwritingto? Sheasked SheaskedwhoIwaswritingto Sujeto → no aux suj suj

  8. Reportedorders Para poner una orden en estilo indirecto cambiamos el imperativo por un infinitivo con to. Pero antes del infinitivo debemos poner un verbo que exprese mandato, como Tell u order , seguido del complemento indirecto. Hay otros verbos que siguen esta estructura aunque no expresen orden. Ask o beg para peticiones. Warn para advertir a alguien de algo. Advise para dar consejo Invite para hacer una invitación. “Stop driving so fast”. My motherordered me to stop driving so fast. Si la oración es negativa , ponemos not delante de to. “Don´ttellanybody” He begged me nottotellanybody

  9. Reportedsuggestions • Primero ponemos el sujeto y el verbo suggest en pasado y después lo que se sugirió. • Las sugerencias se pueden pasar a estilo indirecto de dos formas: • usando una oración introducida por that, con su sujeto y el verbo en la forma base. • (El verbo demand, que expresa mandato, también sigue esta estructura) • “Let´swatchthenews” Tom suggested • Tom suggestedthatwewatchthenews • Usando el gerundio, sin especificar ningún sujeto. • “ Let´sphonethepoliceinmediately” • He suggestedphoningthepoliceinmediately
