Reported Speech sääntö, esimerkit, harjoitukset ja testit

Reported speech käytämme

Sitä käytetään toisen sanomisten kertomiseen muuttamalla muotoa niin, että ne ovat osa tekstiäsi eivätkä suora lainaus.
Muutamme suoran esityksen epäsuoraksi.

Reported speech Muoto

Subject + reporting V, that subject + V (ajanjakson muutoksella tarvittaessa)

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

Reported speech Sääntö

Englannissa epäsuoraa esitystapaa ei merkitä lainausmerkeillä, toisin kuin suoraa puhetta:

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

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

Reported speech Aikamuotojen muutokset

Suora esitys / suora puhe (Direct speech)	Epäsuora puhe (Reported speech)

Jos väite on yhä tosi nyt.
