Reported Speech (Непрямая/косвенная речь)

Понятие «косвенная речь» относится к предложениям, сообщающим нам информацию со слов другого человека. Такие предложения почти всегда употребляются в разговорном английском.

В случае если глагол, передающий нам слова говорящего, стоит в форме прошедшего времени (т.е. said, told), то часть предложения, которая собственно содержит слова говорящего, также будет в форме прошедшего времени. Таким образом, мы как бы делаем «шаг назад» (на одно время назад) от формы глагола в начальном предложении.

Пример: He said the test was difficult. Он сказал, что тест был сложный
She said she watched TV every day. Она сказала, что смотрела телевизор каждый день
Jack said he came to school every day. Джек сказал, что ходил в школу каждый день

Когда мы преобразуем предложение из прямой речи в косвенную речь, зачастую необходимо заменить местоимение, чтобы оно совпадало по форме с подлежащим.

Пример: She said, “I want to bring my children.” → She said she wanted to bring her children.
Jack said, “My wife went with me to the show.” → Jack said his wife had gone with him to the show.

Также важно заменять наречия времени и места, чтобы они совпадали с моментом речи.

today, tonight → that day, that night

tomorrow → the day after / the next day / the following day

yesterday → the day before / the previous day

now → then / at that time / immediately

this week → that week

next week → the week after / the following week

last week → the week before / the previous week

ago → before

here → there

Пример: She said, “I want to bring my children tomorrow.” → She said she wanted to bring her children the next day.
Jack said, “My wife went with me to the show yesterday.” → Jack said his wife had gone with him to the show the day before.

Когда мы при помощи косвенной речи передаем вопросы, особое внимание нужно обращать на соединительные союзы и порядок слов в предложении. Порядок слов в косвенном вопросе должен быть прямым, т.е., подлежащее + сказуемое, нельзя вспомогательный глагол ставить перед подлежащим, как в обычных вопросительных предложениях.

· Когда мы передаем общие вопросы, подразумевающие ответ «да» или «нет», мы соединяем собственно вопрос со словами автора при помощи ‘if’.

· Если же мы передаем вопросы, использующие вопросительные слова (why, where, when и т.д.), мы используем это вопросительное слово.

Пример: She asked, “Do you want to come with me?” → She asked me if I wanted to come with her.
Dave asked, “Where did you go last weekend?” → Dave asked me where I had gone the previous weekend.
