DIRECT & INDIRECT SPEECH

Slide 1 - Slide

DIRECT & INDIRECT SPEECH

Direct speech gebruiken we om letterlijk weer te geven wat iemand
heeft gezegd. Indirect speech gebruiken we om te beschrijven wat iemand
heeft gezegd.

In het voorbeeld rechts verandert niks aan de tijd van de werkwoord want zij houdt nog steeds van mysteries!


  • Direct speech: Sheila said: “I love mysteries.”

  • Indirect speech: Sheila said that she loves mysteries.

Maar van direct speech naar indirect speech te gaan veranderen Engelse bijna altijd de tijd van de werkwoord door het terug in de tijd zetten
