Speech
can you explain it?
Examples
She said, "I love to read books."
In this example, the speaker's exact words ("I love to read
books") are enclosed in quotation marks.
In the direct speech "I am going to the store" becomes "She said
that she was going to the store" in indirect speech. Note the
changes in pronouns (from "I" to "she") and verb tense (from
"am" to "was").
Examples:
He said that they would arrive at 3:00 PM..
the direct speech "They will arrive at 3:00 PM" becomes "He said
that they would arrive at 3:00 PM" in indirect speech. Here, the
verb tense is changed from "will" to "would" to reflect the shift
from present to future in relation to the reporting context.
Structure:
1. Verbo de Relato: Comece com um verbo de relato, como "said,"
"asked," "told," ou similar.
2. Sujeito: Indique o sujeito da cláusula de relato, geralmente a pessoa
que falou no discurso direto.
3. Cláusula de Relato: Introduza a cláusula de relato com "that" (ou
"if" em algumas situações) para conectar o discurso direto ao
discurso indireto. Aqui, você relata o que foi dito no discurso direto,
ajustando os tempos verbais conforme necessário.
Definition:
Indirect speech, also known as reported speech or indirect
discourse, is a way of reporting or paraphrasing what someone
else has said without quoting their exact words. In indirect
speech, you convey the meaning or content of the original
statement while adjusting it to fit into your own sentence
structure. This often involves changing verb tenses, pronouns,
and other elements to reflect the new context.
Game!
Remember that not all passive sentences require an agent, and the
agent can often be omitted if it's not necessary or known.
Example with agent
- The cake was baked by my grandmother.
- The report was written by the team leader.
- The house was painted by the workers.
Example without agent
- The cake was baked perfectly.
