    REPORTED SPEECH

    El estilo indirecto se usa cuando queremos repetir lo que otra persona ha dicho. Para
    realizar estilo indirecto siempre tendremos una frase entre comillas que deberemos pasar a
    estilo indirecto (reported speech).

    Se usa "that" en las frases afirmativas y negativas para introducir lo que ha dicho la otra
    persona. Por otro lado, en las frases interrogativas se usa "if".

    Ej: John said: “The door is red” John said that the door was read.
