REPORTED SPEECH possvel relatar o que foi dito por algum de duas formas: utilizando o

discurso direto (nesse caso apenas transcreve-se o que foi dito) e atravs dodiscurso indireto (quando optamos por contar com nossas prprias palavras o quefoi dito).Ex.:Discurso direto: Bob said: I love Mary. (Bob disse: Eu amo a Mary).Discurso indireto: Bob said that he loved Mary. (Bob disse que ele amava a Mary).Discurso direto: Bob told Mary: I love you. (Bob disse { Mary: Eu te amo).Discurso indireto: Bob told Mary that he loved her. (Bob disse Mary que a amava).Diferena de said e told

Apesar de ambos significarem disse, devemos usar said toda vez em que

na frase no for mencionado com quem se est| falando. O uso do told, no entanto,deve ser usado sempre que for mencionado com quem se est falando, como noexemplo acima: Bob disse Mary, logo, Bob told Mary, e nunca, Bob said Mary.

Ao passar a frase do discurso direto para o indireto, e vice-versa, necessrio ficar atento aos tempos verbais, assim como aos pronomes e

advrbios de tempo que acabam sofrendo alteraes. Segue abaixo uma tabelapara consulta:
