REFUERZO GRADO 1101
Direct and Reported Speech (El estilo directo y indirecto)
Cuando queremos comunicar o informar de lo que otra persona ha dicho, hay dos maneras de hacerlo: utilizando el estilo directo o el estilo indirecto.
Direct Speech (El estilo directo)
Cuando queremos informar exactamente lo que otra persona ha dicho, utilizamos el estilo directo. Con este estilo lo que la persona ha dicho se coloca entre comillas ("...") y deberá ser palabra por palabra.
- Ejemplos:
- "I am going to London next week," she said. ("Voy a Londres la semana que viene," ella dijo.)
- "Do you have a pen I could borrow," he asked. ("Tienes un bolígrafo que puedas prestarme," él preguntó.)
- Alice said, "I love to dance." (Alice dijo, "Me encanta bailar.")
- Chris asked, "Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow night?" (Chris preguntó, "Te gustaría cenar conmigo mañana por la noche?")
Reported Speech (El estilo indirecto)
El estilo indirecto, a diferencia del estilo directo, 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 un 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. Por otro lado, en las frases interrogativas se puede usar "if" o "whether".

Los verbos modales (modal auxiliary verbs) son:
can, could may, might will, would shall, should must ought to | poder, saber poder querer deber deber deber |
A veces, 'need' (tener que) y 'dare' (atreverse), también tienen las mismas características gramaticales de los verbos modales.
• No añaden la 's' en la tercera persona del singular del presente.
- She must know his telephone number. – Ella debe saber su número de teléfono.
XShe musts know.... X
• Forman la interrogación, la negación, las respuestas cortas y las llamadas 'preguntas coletilla' (tag questions), sin utilizar el auxiliary 'do'.
- Can you speak Spanish? - ¿Puedes hablar español?
XDo you can….. X
• Forman la negación añadiendo not.
- I cannot go on Friday. – No puedo ir el viernes.
• Admiten contracciones.
cannot = can’t
could not = couldn’t
might not = mightn’t
will not = won’t
would not = wouldn’t
shall not = shan’t (inglés británico)
should not = shouldn’t
must not = mustn’t
ought not to = oughtn’t to
• Los verbos modales no tienen el infinitivo, por lo que no pueden estar precedidos de ‘to’.
Xto can X X to might X
• Van seguidos de infinitivo sin 'to', con exepción de 'ought'
- I must buy some milk – Debo comprar leche.
XI must to buy…. X
- We can leave at seven. – Podemos marcharnos a las siete.
