SEE YOU....

Es Junio otra vez, y otra vez la misma historia.
Otra despedida. Se van de nuevo los alumnos de cuarto, con sus flamantes títulos, con sus viejas carpetas e ilusiones. Con sus matrículas a bachillerato, a ciclos.
Se van todos, y todo permanece, y todo sigue igual. Ya no escuchamos su alborotada risa en los pasillos, ni los vemos deambular de un lado al otro al aula que tenían asignada.
Sus caminos se bifurcan, una vez mas.

REPORTED SPEECH I for 4th ESO and Bachillerato

Reported speech is a transformation in which we reproduce someone’s words.

  • Peter says: “I am fed up”
  • Peter said that he was fed up
Reported speech implies remoteness, we always go backwards in time when we reproduce someone’s words.
  • Verbal tenses move back into the past.
  • Pronouns change in the form to imply less proximity) and
  • Adverbs of place are also replace by others that imply that something is further. 

VERBThere is a bakcshift, ie., the verbs take a more REMOTE FORM.
There is a backshift to the past when we want to write a statement in reported speech. It is as if we go upstairs. If we transform reported speech into direct speech we go downstairs.
