REPORTED SPEECH (Косвена мова)

1. Що таке Reported Speech?

Reported Speech використовується, коли ми передаємо чиїсь слова не дослівно, а змістово.

🔹 Direct Speech (пряма мова):
She said: “I am tired.”

🔹 Reported Speech (косвена мова):
She said that she was tired.

Коли ми перетворюємо пряму мову в косвену, відбувається зміна часових форм.

Зміна часів (Tense shift)

Приклади:

• “I work every day.” → He said that he worked every day.

• “I am reading a book.” → She said that she was reading a book.

• “I visited Kyiv.” → He said that he had visited Kyiv.

• “I will come.” → She said that she would come.

  Займенники змінюються відповідно до контексту:

  • I → he / she

  • my → his / her

  • we → they

  Приклад:
  “I like my school.” → He said that he liked his school.

Сполучники

• that (що) — найчастіше використовується

• можна опускати в розмовному стилі

Приклад:
She said (that) she was happy.

Питання в Reported Speech

Yes/No questions

використовуємо if / whether

“Do you like English?” → He asked if I liked English.

Wh- questions

порядок слів як у ствердженні

“Where do you live?” → She asked where I lived.
