Reported speech, czyli mowa zależna, to bardzo przydatna i często wykorzystywana konstrukcja gramatyczna przekazująca niebezpośrednio czyjeś słowa. Nie wymaga cudzysłowu.
Direct speech używamy, by wtrącić cytat. Używamy cudzysłowu i zapisujemy słowo w słowo cytowany tekst.
Zdania w tekście są zapisane w Reported speech. Tworząc zdanie w mowie zależnej wykorzystano następstwo czasów, czyli zamieniono:
- Present Simple na Past Simple
- Past Simple na Past Perfect
- will -> would
Dlatego też w tym zadaniu odwracamy ten proces aby zacytować oryginalną wypowiedź.
