Reported Commands

- en las órdenes indirectas (reported commands) afirmativas se pone TO antes del verbo
(directo) He said to him: "go out"
(indirecto) He told him TO go out

- en las órdenes indirectas
negativas se pone NOT TO  antes del verbo
(directo) He said to him: "Don't go out"
(indirecto) He told him NOT TO go out

En el verbo principal
no hay más cambios, respecto al tiempo verbal (tense), cosa que sí ocurre en las declarativas e interrogativas.

Reported Questions

- Hay 2 tipos: Wh- questions y Yes / No questions

 Wh- questions: en las indirectas, después del verbo introductorio se pone el pronombre interrogativo (what, when, etc) + sujeto + verbo (no lleva ? )
(directo) He said to me: " What are you doing?"
(indirecto) He asked me what I was doing.

Yes / No questions: en las indirectas, después del verbo introductorio se pone if (o whether) + sujeto + verbo (no lleva ?
(directo) He said to me: " Are you happy?"
(indirecto) He asked me if I was happy.
 
 * los cambios de los tiempos verbales son iguales que en las declarativas (statements)
** en las interrogativas indirectas el orden de las palabras es como en las oraciones declarativas y no como en las preguntas. Por tanto, después del wh- question o el if se pone el sujeto y después el verbo
*** las interrogativas indirectas no llevan signo de interrogación al final
**** aunque en las directas el verbo introductor sea  said o told, en indirecto se pone asked o asked + (me, you, etc)


Reported Speech - statements

- He said: " He likes sport".
He said he liked sport

- He said: "I was in London".
He said he had been in London.

- I said to you: "You have been noisy".
I told you you had been noisy

- He told me: "I am studying".
He told me he was studying.

Reported Speech (2) verbo introductor

Cuando el verbo introductor va seguido de objeto de persona se puede emplear "say to" o "tell"

He said to me: "...   (él me dijo)
He told me: "...   (él me dijo)

sería incorrecto:

- He said me: "...
- He told: "...
- He told to me: "...

aunque es correcto utilizar sólo el verbo "say", sin aparecer el objeto de persona:

- He said: "...   (él dijo)

* en el estilo indirecto se utiliza "told" y no "said" cuando hay objeto de persona:


He told me that he...
He said to me that he...

Reported Speech (1)

Reported Speech (estilo indirecto).- Para decir lo que otro ha dicho, sin usar las palabras exactas que usó.

Direct Speech (estilo directo).- He says:" I am hungry".
Reported Speech (estilo indirecto).- He says he is hungry.

Si el verbo introductor del estilo indirecto (he says) está en pasado (he said) se producen cambios en los tiempos verbales de la frase que se dijo.

Presente simple --- Pasado simple
Presente continuo --- Pasado continuo
Presente perfecto --- Pasado perfecto
Pasado simple --- Pasado perfecto
