Преобразование предложений в косвенную речь требует изменения некоторых аспектов, таких как местоимения, временные формы и наречия времени и места. Давайте рассмотрим каждый пример:
Ann asked me, "Have you been shopping here all morning?"
- Ann asked me if I had been shopping there all morning.
She said to me, "I am married and I've got one daughter."
- She told me that she was married and had one daughter.
The woman told me, "I'm taking my niece to see the city."
- The woman told me that she was taking her niece to see the city.
They said to me, "How long have you been a hairdresser?"
- They asked me how long I had been a hairdresser.
He asked the man, "Could I possibly borrow your magazine?"
- He asked the man if he could possibly borrow his magazine.
She asked him, "Do you have any friends in Moscow?"
- She asked him if he had any friends in Moscow.
Ann said to her friend, "I am meeting my cousin but the train is late."
- Ann told her friend that she was meeting her cousin but the train was late.
I told him, "You are much more open-minded than other people."
- I told him that he was much more open-minded than other people.
Nick asked Tom, "How long have you been married?"
- Nick asked Tom how long he had been married.
I asked Liz, "Do you mind very much if I open the window?"

Обратите внимание на то, что в косвенной речи:
- Вопросительные предложения обычно преобразуются в утвердительные.
- Время глаголов часто меняется на одно прошедшее время назад (Present Simple в Past Simple, Present Perfect в Past Perfect и т.д.).
- Наречия времени и места также могут изменяться (например, "here" на "there").
- Местоимения изменяются в зависимости от контекста.
