Direct speech & Reported speech

Direct speech is wanneer je zelf iets verteld.

"I am going to watch a movie."

 

Reported speech is wanneer je iets naverteld. 

"He said he was going to watch a movie."

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 > Joost said he liked his dog.

I have to go to school. > Joost said he had to go to school.

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:
"I like to eat ice cream"

Past simple > Past perfect

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

Voorbeeld:

Billy arrived yesterday > Joost said that Billy had arrived yesterday.

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:
"I never liked that book"

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.

Voorbeeld:

I am playing with my dog. > Joost said he was playing with his dog.

I am living in Panningen. > Joost said he was living in Panningen.

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:
"I am watching a movie."

Present perfect > Past perfect

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

Voorbeeld:

I have played football for three years. > Joost said he had played football for three years.

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:"I have read a good book."

Zet deze zin in Reported speech:
