Reported speech interview

• Engels
• Middelbare school
• vwo
• Leerjaar 2

Why?

De tijdsverschuiving vindt plaats omdat er bij indirect speech meestal wordt verwezen naar iets dat in het verleden werd gezegd.

Doel:

om duidelijk te maken dat wat er gezegd werd, niet hier en nu gebeurt, maar op een eerder moment.

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:
Joost: "I like to eat ice cream"

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:
"I am watching a movie."

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:"I have read a good book."

Past simple > Past perfect

The past simple usually becomes the past perfect in reported speech

for example:

Billy arrived yesterday > Joost said that Billy had arrived yesterday.

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:
Joost: "I never liked that book"

watch out!

- These verbs don't change in reported speech:

might, must, should, could, would, would like

- That is often ommited in reported speech:

He said (that) he'd call you.
