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. |
