Reported Speech reël, voorbeelde, oefeninge en toetse

Reported speech gebruik

Ons gebruik dit om iemand anders se woorde weer te gee deur die vorm te verander sodat dit deel van jou teks word en nie ’n direkte aanhaling is nie.
Ons verander direkte rede na indirekte rede.

Reported speech Vorm

Subject + reporting V, that subject + V (met tydverskuiwing indien nodig)

“I am tired”, she said. She said that she was tired.

Reported speech Reël

In Engels word indirekte rede nie in aanhalingstekens geplaas nie, anders as direkte rede:

George said, “I am ready to dance with you.”

George said (that) he was ready to dance with me.

Reported speech Veranderinge van tydsvorme

Direkte rede (Direct speech)	Indirekte rede (Reported speech)
Present Simple I know	Past Simple he said he knew
Present Continuous I am doing	Past Continuous he said he was doing
Present Perfect I have done	Past Perfect he said he had done
Past Simple I did	Past Perfect he said he had done
Past Continuous I was doing	Past Perfect Continuous he said he had been doing

❗ Wanneer die tydsvorm nie verander nie

Algemene waarhede, feite, wette van die natuur.
As iets altyd waar is, verander die tydsvorm nie:

Wanneer die handeling steeds relevant is op die oomblik van spraak.
As die stelling nou nog waar is.

As die bysin in die Past Continuous is, kan die werkwoordstyd in spreektaal onveranderd bly.

Hy het gesê: “Ek was besig om sokker te speel toe sy my gebel het.”. He said that he was playing football when she called him.
