Exercicis del reported speech — Anglès 4t ESO
El reported speech serveix per explicar el que ha dit una altra persona, i té regles que cal practicar. Aquests exercicis et fan reportar afirmacions fent el backshift, és a dir, fent retrocedir els temps verbals («I am tired» → «She said she was tired»). Després transformes preguntes, amb if o amb la partícula interrogativa i l'ordre d'una frase afirmativa, i ordres amb tell o ask més to. També tries entre say i tell. Les solucions expliquen cada canvi de temps i de pronom. Errors típics: dir «He said me», quan say no porta la persona directament, i mantenir l'ordre de pregunta: «He asked me where did I live».
