Q

Discours indirect - autre regle

A
#1 - Personal pronouns and possessives may need to be changed.
#2 - Verb conjugations need to change to agree with the new subject.
#3 - Indirect speech is made up of a main clause, followed by a subordinate clause introduced by the relative pronoun ‘que’.
#4 - If there is no question word in the sentence, the word si which corresponds to if or whether is used instead of que.  A direct question related to a verb and est-ce que becomes si in indirect discourse. Si means
whether or if.
#5 - Infinitif is preceded by "de"
