Resumen

Reported Speech: Statements and Questions

Puntos clave

El reported speech o estilo indirecto se emplea para contar desde tu punto de vista lo que alguien ha dicho, sin citar sus palabras exactas.


Info 1: Statements

Para reproducir las afirmaciones que una persona ha dicho, se usa el reported speech. Se comienza la oración con un reporting verb o verbo introductorio (To Say o To Tell) y los verbos cambian su forma dando un salto al pasado. Los posesivos, pronombres y expresiones de tiempo y lugar también cambian.


  Ejemplos
Statement
“I am going to buy this bike next week”, he said
Reported Speech
He said that he was going to buy that house the following week

Statement
“My parents gave me a surprise gift”, she said
Reported Speech
She told me that her parents had given her a surprise gift


Recuerda que: Los verbos no cambian de tiempo cuando la afirmación hace referencia a un hecho objetivo o una situación permanente.


  Ejemplos
Statement
“Madrid is the capital of Spain"
Reported Speech
He said that Madrid is the capital of Spain


Info 2: Questions

Hay dos maneras diferentes de formar preguntas en reported speech. 


Question Words

Las preguntas formadas con question words pasan a reported speech sin cambiar el orden de las palabras: el sujeto se coloca antes del verbo y no es necesario añadir do o did. El reporting verb usado es To Ask, seguido de la question word. Los tiempos verbales y pronombres, posesivos y expresiones de lugar también cambian.


  Ejemplos
Question
"Where do you live?"
Reported Speech
He asked me where I lived

Question
"Why is she here?"
Reported Speech
He asked why she was there


Yes or No Questions

En las yes or no questions, las palabras que hacen referencia a la pregunta se introducen con if o whether. Se siguen respetando los cambios de tiempos verbales y pronombres, posesivos y expresiones de lugar.


  Ejemplos
Question
“Is Daniel hungry?"
Reported Speech
He asked if Daniel was hungry

Question
"Did you watch this movie?"
Reported Speech
He asked me whether I had watched that movie


Info 3: Orders, Requests and Suggestions

Para pasar a reported speech órdenes y peticiones, se emplea esta estructura:


Reporting verb + Indirect object + To/Not to + Infinitive


El indirect object indica a quién va dirigida la oración.


  Ejemplos
Order
"Please don't move", said the dentist
Reported Speech
The dentist asked me not to move

Statement
“Bring your notebooks tomorrow", said the teacher
Reported Speech
The teacher told us to bring our notebooks the following day


Requesting Objects

Si la persona cuyas palabras se reproducen pide un objeto, en lugar de utilizar un reporting verb y hacer cambios en las formas verbales, se emplea simplemente asked for y el objeto en cuestión.

​

  Ejemplos
Request
"Can I have some water?"
Reported Speech
She asked for some water

Request
“A pencil, please"
Reported Speech
He asked for a pencil


Suggestions

Para reproducir un consejo o sugerencia en reported speech hay varias opciones:

  • Introducir la oración con that + sujeto y emplear el verbo en presente.
  • Introducir la oración con that + sujeto + should y emplear el verbo en infinitivo.
  • Emplear un gerundio justo después del reporting verb.


  Ejemplos
Suggestion
“You should visit a doctor"
Reported Speech
He suggested that I visit a doctor
He suggested that I should visit a doctor
He suggested visiting a doctor
