    reported speech discurso indirecto

    Para referir las palabras de alguien, podemos hacerlo de


    dos maneras.

    1. Podemos usar el “direct speech” (discurso directo) poniendo las


    palabras entre comillas.

    > Richard said, “I am very hungry."

    2. Podemos usar también el “reported speech” (discurso indirecto),


    que normalmente está introducido por “to say” y “to tell”.

    to say Se usa cuando no se menciona la persona a quien se le


    habla.

    > Richard said (that) he was very hungry.

    Betty said (that) she was going to Boston.

    Rob said (that) he had found a new job.

    to tell Se usa cuando se menciona la persona a quien se le


    habla.

    > Richard told Jenny (that) he was very hungry.

    Betty told me (that) she was going to Boston.

    Rob told his girlfriend (that) he had found a new job.

    Nota Hemos puesto “that” entre paréntesis porque a menudo se omite.

    > Rob told his girlfriend that he had found a new job.
    o bien
    > Rob told his girlfriend he had found a new job.
