ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ ПРИ УПОТРЕБЛЕНИИ КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ

Must меняется на had to

Can на could

Shall на should

Will на would

Для лучшего усвоения рассмотрим следующие примеры:

‘We must go to school to class.’ — They said they had to go school to class.


‘I can’t paint picture.’ — She said she couldn’t paint picture.


‘I will see my mother soon.’ — He said he would see his mom soon.


‘I shall buy the bread.’ — She said she should buy the bread.

Слова, употребляемые в прямой речи, могут меняться при использовании косвенной следующим образом:

Ago – previously, before;

Yesterday – the day before;

Today – that day;

That/this – the;

On/next Friday – the following Friday;

Last month – the previous month;

The day after tomorrow – in two days’ time;

This weekend – that weekend;

Here – there;

Tomorrow – the following day / the next day;

Tonight – that night;

Рассмотрим изменение слов на примере предложений

‘I`ll drink milk tomorrow.’ – He said he`d drink milk the next day.


‘I saw Mr. Freeman today.’ — She said she’d seen Mr. Freeman that day.


‘I don`t like this lesson.’ — He said he didn`t like that lesson.


‘I met Andy about two weeks ago.’ — She said she had met Andy about two weeks before.


‘We visited our grandparents last Monday.’ — They said they had visited their grandparents the previous Monday.

Безусловно, нельзя заменять слова подобным образом во всех предложениях. Подобная замена имеет место только там, где она уместна и подходит по смыслу.

Так, например, рассмотрим предложение: She said, ‘I like to live here.’ Предположим, что она говорит о Лондоне. В косвенной речи ее слова можно передать по-разному:

She said she liked to live there – она говорит, что ей нравится жить там. (Соответственно предполагается, что вы сами не проживаете в Лондоне)

She said she liked to live here – она говорит, что ей нравится жить здесь. (Получается, что и вы проживаете, или на данный момент находитесь в этом городе)

На одном простом примере становится понятно, что переводя прямую речь в косвенную, просто необходимо обращать внимание на внешние обстоятельства и уже затем делать выводы, уместным ли будет то или иное слово или фраза.

При образовании косвенной речи из прямой, такие глаголы как ought to (должны), would, might, could, should – не изменяются.

ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ С WH–ВОПРОСАМИ.

Следует сразу отметить что
wh–вопросы
, это те, которые начинаются со следующих слов: Why, Where, Who, When, What и другие, начинающиеся на буквы wh.

Следует отметить, что большое количество вопросов в косвенной речи, начинается после основного глагола, который употребляется в прошедшем времени (Past Tense). Что же касается самого вопроса, то время в нем изменяется согласно вышеуказанным правилам образования времен.

Порядок расстановки слов в вопросах, которые относятся к косвенной речи, меняется:

‘What`s the time?’ — She asked what time it was. –
правильносформулированноепредложение.

Неправильнобудеттак:

She asked what was the time.

«How’s your grandmother? » — He asked me how my mother was. —
правильнаярасстановкаслов.

Неправильныйвариант:

He asked me how was my mother.

Глагол «to ask» (спросить), применяется в косвенной речи как с объектом, так и без него:

He asked me how my mom was.

He asked how my mom was.

Приведем еще несколько примеров для закрепления этого материала:

‘How did you get to home?’ — He asked how I had got to home.


‘Where do you live?’ — The friend wanted to know where I lived.


‘Why are you so early?’ — The doctor demanded to know why I was so early.

IF И WHETHER ПРИ КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ

If и whether в косвенной речи употребляются только с общими вопросами (не с wh–вопросами), на которые могут быть только два ответа: нет или да.

При построении общих вопросов, используются все вышеуказанные правила, касающиеся согласования времен.

Whether, как и If, в английском языке обозначает частицу «ли».

Стоит отметить, что порядок слов в общих вопросах косвенной речи меняется, например:

‘Are you tired?’ — She asked if I was tired.
(Она спросила, была ли я уставшая).

‘Did you read the book?’ — He asked whether I had read the book.(Онспросилменя,
читаллияэтукнигу).

‘Have you finished your job?’ — He asked if I had finished my job.
(Он спросил, закончила ли я свою работу).

ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ КОМАНД (ПРИКАЗОВ) В КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ

При приказе (команде) в косвенной речи употребляется сначала основной глагол, затем объект и инфинитив:

‘Stop!’ — She told the student to stop.


‘Break!’ — He told the boxer to break.

Что же касается отрицательной формы, то порядок слов тот же, за исключением того что перед инфинитивом ставится частичка «not». Например:

‘Don`t sleep here!’ — The teacher ordered the student not to sleep there.


‘Don`t go!’ — She told him not to go.

Tell, warn, instruct, order, command– основные глаголы, которые чаще всего встречаются в приказах косвенной речи.

УПОТРЕБЛЕНИЕ ПРОСЬБЫ (ЗАПРОСА) В КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ.

Предложения. в которых мы употребляем запрос, несут в себе обращение к человеку с просьбой о чем-либо.

Would и could – слова, с которых начинаются запросы в прямой речи.

To ask (просить, спрашивать) – основной глагол, с которого, как правило, начинается запрос в косвенной речи.

‘Would you close the window, please?’ — He asked me to close the window. .


‘Could you pour me water, please?’ – He asked me to pour him water.

Но! Следует обратить внимание на то, что ни в коем случае нельзя путать просьбу с приказом, иначе вас могут неправильно понять.

Например:

He told me to give him the book –
онвелелмнеотдатьемукнигу;

He asked me to give him the book –
онпопросилменядатьемукнигу.

Помимо того, что необходимо различать приказ от просьбы, еще необходимо различать предложение от просьбы.

Так, например, предложение будет звучать следующим образом:

‘Would you like a cake? » – He asked if I would like a cake.
(«Хочешь пирог?» — он спросил, хочу ли я пирога).

Просьба же будет звучать чуть иначе:

«Would you pass me a cake?» – He asked me to pass him a cake.(«Можете передать мне пирог?» — он попросил меня передать ему пирог).
