Косвенная речь используется для передачи чужой речи. После глаголов, вводящих косвенную речь (reporting verbs) в форме настоящего времени, время глагола в придаточном предложении не меняется:

She says «I love him».  She says she loves him.

Если глагол в предложении, вводящий косвенную речь, употреблен в прошедшем времени, форма в придаточном смещается на один шаг:

Present Continuous → Past Continuous

«It is raining in my town». → She said it was raining in her town.

Past Continuous → Past Perfect Continuous

«I was sleeping ,» she told me. → She told me that she had been sleeping.

Present Simple → Past Simple

«I want to buy it,» he told me He said that he wanted to buy it.

Past Simple → Past Perfect

«I saw your sister». → He said he had seen my sister.

Present Perfect → Past Perfect

«You’ve won the second prize,» the man announced → The man announced that they had won the second prize.

Present Perfect Continuous → Past Perfect Continuous

«I have been driving for five years,» he said He said that he had been driving for five years.

Future Simple → Future in the Past

«We’ll buy you a car ,» parents promised. → Parents promised that they would buy me a car.

 

Изменения в обстоятельствах места и времени при изменении прямой речи в косвенную:

here                                there

now                               then

this / these                     that / those

today                             that day

tomorrow                      the next day/the following day

yesterday                       the day before/the previous day

last week              the week before

next week                      the following week

ago                                 before

 

Если при переходе в косвенную речь меняется субъект предложения, то используется придаточное с союзом that :

«We’ll go with you.» → They agreed to go with me.

«You can go with us!» → They agreed that I should go with them.

 

Модальные глаголы would , could , might , ought , should не меняются в косвенной речи, остальные меняются следующим образом:

must → had to       «I must go.» → He said he had to go.

can → could           «I can do it». →He said he could do it.

may→ might          «I may do it». → He said he might do it.

 

Reporting questions

Косвенные вопросы начинаются со следующих выражений:

Can you tell me what time the film starts? (сравни: What time does the film start?)

I’d like to know where I can buy tickets? (сравни: Where can I buy tickets?)

Could you tell me if / whether she is going to call me tonight? (сравни: Is she going to call me tonight?)

Could you tell me how to get to the theatre? / how I get to the theatre? (сравни: How do I get to the theatre?)

В косвенных вопросах не ставится знак «?». Грамматические формы изменяются так же, как и в утвердительных предложениях с косвенной речью; порядок слов такой же, как и в утвердительном предложении. Союзы if или whether используются для общих вопросов (yes/no):

«Are you okay?» → He asked me if I was okay.

«Where do you live?» → He wanted to know where I lived.

«Are you a headmaster?» → He asked me if/whether I was a headmaster.

Косвенное выражение вежливой просьбы, совета или предупреждения строится по схеме:

ask/tell/advise/warn + object (дополнение)+ infinitive

 

«Listen, please!» → He asked/told us to listen.

«Be careful!» → He advised/warned us to be careful.
