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.

Direct speech & Reported speech

Direct speech is wanneer je zelf iets verteld.

"I am going to watch a movie."

 

Reported speech is wanneer je iets naverteld. 

"He said he was going to watch a movie."

Present simple > Past simple

Als je de present simple gebruikte in Direct speech, dan zal dit veranderen in de Past simple.

Voorbeeld:

I like my dog > Joost said he liked his dog.

I have to go to school. > Joost said he had to go to school.

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

Past simple > Past perfect

De past simple wordt meestal de past perfect wanneer iets in Reported speech gezegd wordt.

Voorbeeld:

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

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

Exception

De past simple blijft alleen de past simple bij:

Als de tijdsverhouding duidelijk is/nog steeds klopt:

I broke my arm last year - he said he broke his arm last year

Bij algemene feiten of beschrijvingen van een reeks gebeurtenissen:

he died in 1999 - she said he died in 1999

Present continuous > Past continuous.

De present continuous zal de Past continuous worden, dit betekent dat iets in het verleden is gebeurt en een tijdje doorging.

Voorbeeld:

I am playing with my dog. > Joost said he was playing with his dog.

I am living in Panningen. > Joost said he was living in Panningen.

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

Present perfect > Past perfect

De present perfect zal de Past perfect worden. (Had + voltooid deelwoord)

Voorbeeld:

I have lost my keys. > Joost said he had lost his keys.

I have played football for three years. > Joost said he had played football for three years.

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

Can > Could

Wanneer je Can gebruikte in je Direct Speech zal dit worden verandert in Could.

Voorbeeld:

I can sing. > Joost said he could sing.

I can help you with your homework. > Joost said he could help you with your homework.

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:
"I can speak English."

Will > Would

Wanneer je Will gebruikte in je Direct speech dan verandert Will in Would.

Voorbeeld:

I will go to the store tomorrow. > Joost said he would go to the store tomorrow.

I will clean my room. > Joost said he would clean his room.

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:
"I will finish reading this book later"
