Reporting statements (affirmative / negative) /

example:

reported speech

I want lasagna for dinner.

Dad said he wants lasagna for

dinner.

DISCURSO

INDIRETO

DISCURSO DIRETO

example:

reported speech

I want lasagna for dinner.

Dad said HE WANTED lasagna

for dinner.

DISCURSO

INDIRETO

DISCURSO DIRETO

Geralmente usamos o passado dos

verbos SAY e TELL no reported speech.

He said he was tired.

He told me he was tired.

reported speech

O verbo TELL deve vir sempre seguido de um objeto

indireto (pessoa) sem „to‟.

Ex: He told me, told the kids, told mom etc.

MAN, I’M SO TIRED!

Quando reportamos algo que

ainda está ocorrendo (ou for

algo permanente), não

precisamos mudar o

tempo do verbo.

reported speech

example:

reported speech

Como o rapaz “ainda precisa

achar uma solução para o

problema”, então não é

necessário mudar o tempo do

verbo, pois a situação ainda

está ocorrendo.

I need to find a solution! He said he needs to find a

solution.

example:

reported speech

Mas, em geral, mudamos os

verbos para o passado pois não

sabemos quando aquilo foi dito

ou o que foi dito não é imediato.

Mudamos também pronomes,

demonstrativos e advérbios.

I need to find a solution! He said he needed to find a

solution.

Então se reportamos algo que

não está mais ocorrendo (ou

provavelmente não está mais

ocorrendo), precisamos

mudar o tempo do verbo:

reported speech

example: reported speech

She said she really

needed a vacation.

Some time

later...

I really need a vacation.

example: reported speech

He said he was his father. Some time later...

I am your father, Luke.

example: reported speech

Some time

later...

I‟ll always love you, Edward.

... But you said you

would always love him...

example: reported speech

Sarah told me she was thinking

about it.

Sarah: „I‟m thinking about it‟.

example: reported speech

Marcy told Mike she liked his

new tie.

Marcy: „I like your new tie‟.

example: reported speech

Sue told Joe (that) she couldn‟t

hear him.

Sue to Joe: „I can‟t hear you‟.

example: reported speech

Mike‟s parents told him (that)

they wanted him to be happy.

Mike‟s parents to him: „We want you to

be happy‟.

example: reported speech

Jill told us (that) she had just

seen Laura.

Jill to us: „I‟ve just seen Laura‟.

example: reported speech

Jake: „This is your new room‟

He said that was my new room.

Mel: „I‟ll call you today‟.

Mel told me she would call me that day. Palavras que se referem àquela situação específica também mudam:

THIS THAT

NOW THEN

HERE THERE

TODAY THAT DAY

TOMORROW THE NEXT DAY

YESTERDAY THE DAY BEFORE

VERBOS MUDAM PARA O „PASSADO‟ :

SIMPLE PRESENT SIMPLE PAST „I GO to school by bus‟ He said he WENT to school by bus...

PRESENT CONTINUOUS PAST CONTINUOUS „I‟M GOING to school...‟ He said he WAS GOING to school...

PRESENT PERFECT PAST PERFECT „I HAVE BEEN to school...‟ He said he HAD BEEN to school...

WILL + VERB WOULD + VERB „I WILL GO to school...‟ He said he WOULD GO to school...

MAY + VERB MIGHT + VERB „I MAY GO to school...‟ He said he MIGHT GO to school ...

CAN + VERB COULD + VERB

„I CAN GO to school...‟ He said he COULD GO to school...

Reporting Questions (Yes/No questions

or

WH-questions) /

reported speech

Se reportamos perguntas, usamos o verbo

ASKED seguido do objeto indireto.

Can you help me please?

He asked me if I could help him.

reported speech

As palavras WHAT, WHICH, WHO,

WHEN, ou HOW (ETC.) que forem

usadas nas perguntas são

mantidas no reported speech.

Se não foram usadas estas

palavras na pergunta, então

usamos IF.

example: reported speech

He asked you if it is risky.

Is it risky?

I‟m sorry?

example: reported speech

He asked you what the risks are.

What are the risks?

I‟m sorry?

example: reported speech
