REPORTED SPEECH
El estilo indirecto se utiliza para expresar lo que alguien dijo literalmente de una
forma distinta, con nuestras propias palabras. Es muy utilizado en el lenguaje
coloquial.
En el estilo indirecto se producen una serie de transformaciones dentro de la
oracin que pasaremos a detallar seguidamente:
1 transformacin: verbal
Los verbos del estilo directo (que suele ir entre comillas), cambian a un tiempo
anterior al transformar la frase:
Estilo Directo

Estilo Indirecto

Pr. Simple

Pas. Simple

Pr. Continuo

Pas. Continuo

Pr. Perfecto

Pas. Perfecto

Pas. Simple

Pas. Perfecto

Pas. Perfecto

Pas. Perfecto

Futuro simple
Condicional

Condicional
Condicional perfecto

(would + infinitivo sin to)

(would have + participio)

2 transformacin: pronominal
Tanto los posesivos como los pronombres personales experimentan un cambio
en el estilo indirecto que est relacionado con la persona a la que se dirige la
oracin; por tanto, la transformacin va a depender del objeto o persona a
quien se dirija la oracin.
3 transformacin: adverbial
Los adverbios de lugar y tiempo en el estilo indirecto cambian del siguiente
modo:
ESTILO DIRECTO

ESTILO INDIRECTO

Here

There

This

That

Now

Then

Today

That day

Tomorrow

The following day

Yesterday

The previous day

Next day

The following day

Last day

The previous day

Statements (Oraciones Enunciativas)

Sujeto + said / told + that + oracin en est. indirecto

Ejemplo:
Est. Directo:
Est. Indirecto:

I am going home
She said that she was going home

Est. Directo:
Est. Indirecto:

My brother said I will see you tomorrow

My brother said that he would see me the following day.

Questions (oraciones interrogativas)

Sujeto + asked / wondered + if / wh- question + oracin en est. indirecto

En estas oraciones hay que distinguir entre las que llamamos interrogativas
polares (yes/no questions, aquellas en las que la respuesta es s o no) e
interrogativas informativas (wh- questions, las que el que pregunta solicita
informacin concreta. stas van introducidas por un pronombre o determinante
interrogativo, wh word).
En las polares, el verbo que introduce la oracin de estilo indirecto ser ask,
wonder, principalmente; tras el verbo introductorio, colocamos un if para
presentar la oracin indirecta. En las informativas, no se pone if sino que
introduce la frase el mismo pronombre interrogativo (wh- element) del estilo
directo.
Adems de los cambios que ya hemos visto (pronominal, verbal, adverbial),
en las questions se produce un cambio de orden en la frase: del orden
interrogativo de la oracin de estilo directo pasamos a un orden enunciativo en
el estilo indirecto.
Ejemplos:
Est. Directo:
Est. Indirecto:

John said do you want a drink?

John asked if I wanted a drink.

Est. Directo:
Est. Indirecto:

The policeman said what are you doing?

The policeman asked what they were doing.

Command & Request (oraciones imperativas)

Sujeto + verbo de orden y peticin + objeto indirecto + infinitivo + compl.

Pasamos en el estilo directo de una oracin imperativa a una construccin de
infinitivo en el estilo indirecto; si la D.S. fuera negativa (dont + base form),
negaremos la construccin de infinitivo con not.
Utilizamos como verbos de orden y peticin para introducir la RS los siguientes:
Ordered, commanded, asked, invited, warned, advised, begged, suggested, recommended
(ordenar)

(mandar)

(pedir) (invitar)

(advertir) (avisar)

(suplicar) (sugerir)

(recomendar)

Ejemplos:
Est. Directo:
Est. Indirecto:
Est. Directo:
Est. Indirecto:

Would you like to drink a coke, Peter?

John invited Peter to drink a coke.
The policeman said, Get out of the car!
The policeman ordered me to get out of the car.
