Vsi, ki ste vsaj malo »ugriznili« v angleščino, ste slišali za odvisni govor. To je tista reč, ko poročamo o nečem, kar je nekdo rekel. Angleščina – vaje vam nudi možnost, da odpravite najpogostejše napake, ki jih delamo govorci angleščine.

Joan said Maria was listening to the radio.

Odvisni govor

Vzemimo primer Ana says that the weather is terrible today. Glagol, ki poroča – says – je v sedanjiku. V tem primeru ne prihaja do nobenih sprememb v stavku.

Ko pa je glagol v pretekliku, moramo narediti nekaj sprememb v stavku, ki mu sledi. Vzemimo isti primer, Ana said that the weather was terrible that day.

Spremenili smo čas – is v was – in časovni izraz – today v that day.

She talks a lot.	David said that she talked a lot.
Maria is listening to the radio.	Joan said Maria was listening to the radio.
I’ve never seen a crocodile.	I said that I had never seen a crocodile.

Kako se spreminjajo časovni izrazi?

this/these	that/those
today	that day
now	then
ago/last	before
here	there
next	following
tomorrow	next/following day

Isto velja tudi za poročanje vprašanj, bodite pa pozorni na vrstni red. Vprašanja, ko jih poročamo, postanejo trdilne povedi in posledično se tudi njihov vrstni red spremeni.

• “Where does Marco work?” Ian asked.
• Ian asked where Marco worked. Ne Ian asked where did Marco work.
