Reported Speech reegel, näited, harjutused ja testid

Reported speech kasutame

Kasutame seda kellegi teise sõnade edasiandmiseks, muutes nende vormi nii, et need saaksid sinu teksti osaks, mitte otseseks tsitaadiks.
Muudame otsekõne kaudseks kõneks.

Reported speech Vorm

Subject + reporting V, that subject + V (vajaduse korral ajavormide muutmisega)

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

Reported speech Reegel

Inglise keeles ei panda kaudset kõnet jutumärkidesse, erinevalt otsesest kõnest:

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

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

Reported speech Aja muutused

Otsene kõne (Direct speech)	Kaudne kõne (Reported speech)

Present Continuous I am doing	Past Continuous he said he was doing
Present Perfect I have done	Past Perfect he said he had done

❗ Kui aeg ei muutu

Üldtõed, faktid, loodusseadused.
Kui miski on alati tõsi, aeg ei muutu:

Kui tegevus on kõnehetkel endiselt asjakohane.
Kui väide on ka praegu tõene.
I live in Paris. She said she lives in Paris. (sest ta elab seal endiselt)
Kui kõrvallause on Past Continuous'is, ei pruugi tegusõna aeg kõnes muutuda.

Ta ütles: „Mängisin jalgpalli, kui ta mulle helistas.”. He said that he was playing football when she called him.
Ta ütles, et mängis jalgpalli, kui naine talle helistas.
Kui teatav kõneviis on olevikus
says, tells, has said korral ajanihet ei teki.
I’m busy. She says she is busy

Reported speech Küsimused

Kaudkõnes liidetakse üldküsimused sidesõnadega if või whether. Küsimuse sõnajärg muutub väitlauses kasutatavaks.
- If kasutatakse tavalistes Yes/No-küsimustes, kui tahetakse lihtsalt teada „jah või ei“.
  Do you like it? He asked if I liked it.
- Whether kasutatakse siis, kui küsimuses on alternatiiv või valik.
  Do you want tea or coffee? He asked whether I wanted tea or coffee.
Küsimused küsisõnaga (wh-questions)
Reporting verb + wh-word + otse sõnajärg (ilma inversioonita)
