Direct speech & Reported speech

Direct speech is wanneer je zelf iets verteld.

Reported speech

In reported speech you are telling something that has already happened, so you use the past tense to talk about it

Present simple > Past simple

Als je de present simple gebruikte in Direct speech, dan zal dit veranderen in de Past simple.

Voorbeeld:

"I like my dog", said the boy > He said that he liked his dog.

"I have to go to school." > He said that he had to go to school.

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:
"I like to eat ice cream", said the boy

Past simple > Past perfect

De past simple zal de Past simple blijven wanneer iets in Reported speech gezegd wordt.

Voorbeeld:

"I loved my first dog." > He said that he had loved his first dog.

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:

Present continuous > Past continuous.

De present continuous zal de Past continuous worden, dit betekent dat iets in het verleden is gebeurt en een tijdje doorging.

De present perfect zal de Past perfect worden. (Had + voltooid deelwoord)
