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.
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.
