Direct and Reported Speech

Для того щоб передати, що хтось сказав щось, можливо вживати "пряму мову" обо "непряму мову".

1. Коли дієслово в повідомленні або в словах автора вжито в теперішньому часі, дієслово не змінюється.

Direct Speech: Annie says, "I usually visit exhibitions and fairs".

Indirect Speech: Annie says (that) she usually visits exhibitions and fairs.

2. Але коли дієслово в повідомленні вжито в одному з минулих часів, час дієслова в непрямій мові змінюється.

Direct Speech: Annie said: "I usually visit exhibitions and fairs"

Indirect Speech: Annie said (that) she usually visited exhibitions and fairs.

Дієслово в непрямій мові змінюється відповідно "Правилу Узгодження часів"

Коли дієслово в повідомленні вжито в Past Tense,час в непрямій мові звичайно "посувається назад".
