В этом видео мы рассматриваем то, как меняются времена английского глагола при переходе от прямой (direct speech) к косвенной (reported speech) речи.
| Прямая речь | Косвенная речь |
|---|---|
Present simple "I work for Google". |
Past simple He said he worked for Google. |
Present continuous "I am working on the project". |
Past continuous He said he was working on the project. |
Past simple "I finished the project". |
Past perfect He said he had finished the project. |
Past continuous "He wasn't telling the truth". |
Past perfect continuous He said he hadn't been telling the truth. |
Present perfect simple "I have finished the project". |
Past perfect simple He said he had finished the project. |
Present perfect continuous "I have been working on the project". |
Past perfect continuous He said he had been working on the project. |
is/are/am going to "I am going to stay". |
was/were going to He said he was going to stay. |
Most modal verbs (e.g. can, will, must, may) "I can't think of anything more". "I will come". "I must stop". |
could, would, had to, might He said he couldn't say anything more. He said he would come. He said he had to stop. |
Но нужно так же отметить, что не все формы глаголов меняются. К таковым относятся - прошедшее совершенное (Past perfect) и модальные глаголы - could, would, should, mustn't.
Обратите внимание на примеры:
"I had done the project before". - He said he had done the project before.
"We could also go". - They said they could also go.
"I should try better". - He said he should try better.
