Reported Speech: statements & questions

Reported Speech prenosi nečije reči bez direktnog citata. Posle prošlog reporting glagola često pomeramo vreme unazad.

Izjave i backshift

Uz said/told u prošlosti Present Simple često prelazi u Past Simple.

CorrectShe said she was tired.
IncorrectShe said she is tired. (past backshift exercise)

U ovom tipu zadatka prenosimo raniju izjavu sa was.

Yes/no pitanja

Indirektna da/ne pitanja uvode se sa if ili whether; red reči postaje kao u izjavi.

CorrectHe asked if I was ready.
IncorrectHe asked was I ready.

U indirektnom pitanju: if + subject + verb.

Wh- pitanja

Zadržavamo upitnu reč, ali koristimo red reči izjave.

CorrectShe asked where I lived.
IncorrectShe asked where did I live.

Posle where ide I lived, ne did I live.

Zapamtite: Ako je informacija i dalje tačna, backshift nije uvek obavezan. Ovde vežbamo standardno pomeranje u prošlost.
