Reported Speech

USO El estilo indirecto (REPORTED SPEECH) lo utilizamos para contar lo que una persona ha dicho pero sin citar exactamente sus palabras. EJEMPLOS: DIRECT STYLE: Tom said: “We are going to the cinema this afternoon.” REPORTED SPEECH: Tom said that they were going to the cinema that afternoon.

CAMBIOS A REALIZAR Cuando pasamos una oración de estilo directo a indirecto tenemos que tener en cuenta una serie de cambios que tendremos que realizar: Tiempos verbales Expresiones temporales y de lugar Pronombres , (utilizando la lógica) EXAMPLE DIRECT: Tom said: “ We are going to visit Ann tomorrow ” REPORTED: Tom said that they were going to visit Ann the following day

Reported statements Al hacer una frase en afirmativa o negativa, se han de tener en cuenta los cambios antes mencionados y hacerlos. Podemos utilizar la palabra “that” para introducir la frase en estilo indirecto. 'That' se puede omitir: She told him that she was happy. She told him she was happy. No usamos las comillas.

Pondremos quien dijo la frase seguido de los verbos SAY o TELL en pasado. La diferencia entre ellos es que después de tell tenemos que decir la persona a quien se lo dijo. D.S.: Peter said, “Ann, I’m very ill.” R.S.: Peter told Ann that he was very ill.

Reported questions Seguimos manteniendo los cambios que mencionabamos al principio: Tiempo verbal Expresiones temporales y de lugar Pronombres personales En las “REPORTED QUESTIONS” ya no utilizamos la forma interrogativa. La frase adquiere la forma de una afirmativa: Sujeto + verbo + complemento Tom asked: “Are you coming to the party tonight, jane?” Tom asked Ann if she was coming to the party that night.

Ahora tenemos que prestar atención al tipo de pregunta que es: YES/NO QUESTIONS IF / WHETHER + SUJETO + VERBO + COMPLEMENTO Peter asked : " Do you play football?" Peter asked me whether (if) I played football. QUESTION WITH QUESTION WORDS: PARTÍCULA INTERROGATIVA + SUJETO + VERBO + COMPLEMENTO Peter asked: " When do you play football?" Peter asked me when I played football.

Reported commands Hay que seguir manteniendo los cambios de expresiones de lugar y tiempo y pronombres personales El tiempo verbal cambia de IMPERATIVO (en D.S.) a INFINITIVO (en R.S). La estructura normalmente va a ser la siguiente tell + to (not to) + infinitive D.S: Teacher. "Don't talk to your mate!" R.S: The teacher told me not to talk to my mate. D.S: Father: "Do your homework!“ R.S: Father told me to do my homework. Negative commands Affirmative commands

ORDERS, REQUESTS, SUGGESTIONS Cuando queremos cambiar a estilo indirecto una orden o petición , usamos: TELL + somebody + infinitive EXAMPLE: The doctor said to me, "Stop smoking!". The doctor told me to stop smoking . También podemos usar: ORDER (ordenar) "Get out of the car!" said the policeman. The policeman ordered him to get out of the car . ASK (Pedir) "Could you please be quiet," she said. She asked me to be quiet . WARN (advertir) The man with the gun said to us, "Don't move!" The man with the gun warned us not to move . Otros verbos que utilizamos en estos casos son: INVITE (Invitar), BEG (Suplicar), FORBID (Prohibir)

Petición de objetos: Utilizamos la formula ask + for + object : a. "Can I have an apple?", she asked. She asked for an apple . b. "Can I have the newspaper, please?" He asked for the newspaper .

Sugerencias : normalmente utilizamos that-clause. 'That' y 'should' son opcionales en estos casos: She said: "Why don't you get a mechanic to look at the car?" She suggested that I should get a mechanic to look at the car. She suggested I get a mechanic to look at the car. Otros verbos que podemos utilizar son: Insist "It would be a good idea to see the dentist", said my mother. My mother insisted that I see the dentist Recommend The dentist said, "I think you should use a different toothbrush". The dentist recommended that I should use a different toothbrush. Notes: Suggest puede ir también seguido de gerundio: I suggested postponing the visit to the dentist.

HOPES, INTENTIONS, PROMISES Cuando cambiamos a estilo indirecto una intención, esperanza, o promesa usamos un “reporting verb” adecuado a este significado, seguido that-clause o to-infinitive : "I'll pay you the money tomorrow." He promised to pay me the money the next day. He promised that he would pay me the money the next day. Otros verbos que utilizan esta estructura son: Hope (Tener esperanza) "We should arrive in London before nightfall." They hoped to arrive in London before nightfall. They hoped they would arrive in London before nightfall. Threaten (Amenazar) "Give me the keys to the safe or I'll shoot you!" He threatened to shoot me if I didn't give him the keys to the safe. He threatened that he would shoot me if I didn't give him the keys to the safe. Swear (Jurar) "I swear it! I'll be back by lunchtime." He sweared to be back by lunchtime. He sweared that he would be back by lunchtime.

REPORTING VERBS Son verbos que vamos a utilizar en estilo indirecto a parte de SAY y TELL. Algunos ya los hemos visto anteriormente. Estos verbos dan información extra de lo que estamos hablando y la mayoría de las veces nos sirven para hacer el cambio a estilo indirecto de manera más libre. He denied doing it. Vamos a dividir los “reporting verbs” según el tipo de oración que va a ir tras ellos.

Tipos de REPORTING VERBS (Algunos pueden estar en más de un grupo) Verbos seguidos de una condicional: IF / WHETHER + frase: ASK (preguntar) REMEMBER (recordar) SAY (decir) Verbos seguidos de THAT + frase: ANSWER (responder) BOAST (alardear / presumir) COMPLAIN (protestar) DENY (negar) REPLY (responder) SAY (decir) SUGGEST (sugerir) TELL (contar) WARN (advertir)
