Grammar: indirect speech 

= indirecte rede

Wanneer je wilt vertellen wat iemand anders iets heeft gezegd 

Marie zei dat ze een goed boek aan het lezen was 

Mary said (that) she was reading a good book

Wat moet je kunnen?

Van direct speech zinnen een indirect speech zin maken:

Jim's mother: 'Jim isn't home'

Jim's mother said (that) Jim wasn't home 

Hoe maak je deze zinnen?

Je gaat als het ware een stapje terug in de tijd: 

• Present simple --> past simple (= verb+ed)
• Present continuous (to be + verb + ing) --> past continuous (was/were + verb + ing)
• Past simple --> past perfect (had + past participle) 

--> 'that' mag je in de zin zetten of eruit laten 

Example sentences

Peter: 'I like this song'           --> 

Sarah: 'I am reading a book'   ---> 

Jasmin: 'The film began at seven' --> 

Practice

In the next few slides, make the sentences into an indirect speech

1. William: 'I never make mistakes'

2. Justine: 'He works in a bank'

3. My sister: 'We went out last night'

4. My father: 'She's living in Paris for a few months'

5. Erica: 'I visited my parents at the weekend'
