Direct and Indirect Speech

• Quando falamos o que disse, conta, pedi, pergunta um a outra pessoa existe duas maneiras:

• O discurso direto em inglês, chamado de direct speech – repete-se ao pé da letra a fala da pessoa. Consiste em períodos simples.

• O discurso indireto em inglês, chamado de indirect speech ou reported speech – relata-se com as nossas palavras o que a pessoa falou. Consiste em período composto.

Há duas formas de relatar o que alguém disse:

• Discurso direto: Repetimos o que foi dito anteriormente.

• Discurso indireto:Contamos com nossas próprias palavras o que foi dito.
