Hello travelers! Here I am one more time

YOU AT A PUB! IMAGINE!

Have a look at these expressions and pay close attention to the dialogue. 

Why don´t you try to imitate the pronunciation?

It will be very useful.

DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH

Direct Speech

Cuando queremos informar exactamente de lo que otra persona ha dicho, utilizamos el estilo directo. Con este estilo lo que la persona ha dicho se coloca entre comillas (“…”) 


"He is going to Brasil next week" (Va a Brasil la semana que viene)

Carol said, "I love painting" (Carol dijo:  "Amo pintar")


Reported Speech


El estilo indirecto, no utiliza las comillas y no necesita ser palabra por palabra. En general, cuando se usa el estilo indirecto, el tiempo verbal cambia. A continuación tienes una explicación de los cambios que sufren los tiempos verbales.
A veces se usa “that” en las frases afirmativas y negativas para introducir lo que ha dicho la otra persona.

Present Simple	Past Simple
“Ben is American,” she said.	She said Ben was American.

Present Continuous	Past Continuous
“Jaques is living in Paris,” she said.	She said Jaques was living in Paris.

Past Simple	Past Perfect Simple
“They went to the opera last night,” he said.	He told me they had gone to the opera the night before.

Present Perfect Simple	Past Perfect Simple
Celia said, “I’ve already eaten.”	Celia told me that she’d already eaten.

Present Perfect Continuous	Past Perfect Continuous
“I’ve been learning German for two years,” he said.	He said he’d been learning German for two years.
