Answer 1

$\underline{\textbf{REPORTED SPEECH}}$  

Actividad:  

Determinar si las oraciones en estilo indirecto están bien escritas.

1. Direct speech:

Belen said: "I want to eat".

Indirect speech:

Belen said she wanted to eat.

Respuesta: (A) Correct.

Está bien formado: en el estilo indirecto, el presente simple pasa a pasado simple.

2. Direct speech:

Juan mentions: "She is a superstar".

Reported speech:

Juan mentions that she is a superstar.

Respuesta: (A) Correct.

En este caso está bien no cambiar el tiempo verbal de la frase, porque el "reporting verb" (mentions) está en presente simple.

Si el reporting verb fuese "mentioned", en cambio, la oración en estilo indirecto sería: Juan mentioned she was a superstar.
