Meninas! Está na hora de deixarem o quarto
She told them it’s time to leave the room.
Ela disse para elas que é hora de deixarem o quarto.

Faça a mudança das frases abaixo do discurso direto para o discurso indireto. Escolha um dos verbos abaixo para introduzir sua resposta.
1 – ask
2 – tell
3 – say
a) “For your own good, don’t do it”. He_______________.
b) “She is leaving tonight.” He _____________________.
c) “Can you get me a piece of paper, please?” She___________.
d) “They got married last week.” He ________________.

a) He told me not to do it.
b) He said she was leaving tonight.
c) She asked me to get her a piece of paper.
d) He said they got married last week.
e) She told me to be hurry.
Nesse caso, além do conhecimento sobre a formação discurso indireto, também é necessário saber fazer o uso adequado de “ ask”, “tell” e “say”. Nas letras ‘a’ e ‘e’, usamos ‘tell’, porque algo está sendo dito para alguém. Nas letras ‘b’ e ‘d’, usamos ‘say,’ porque algo está sendo dito, mas sem haver alguém para direcionar a fala. Na letra ‘c’, trata-se de uma pergunta.
(Unirio/2000) “How would you describe yourself?” is a direct question. Complete the sentence below with the appropriate indirect question form.
Daniel Hart asked an African-American teenager______________________
a) how to describe it
b) how to describe yourself
c) how he would describe himself
d) to describe himself
e) to describe yourself
Alternativa correta: c) how he would describe himself
Observe que o discurso direto apresenta um pronome reflexivo (yourself= você mesmo). A pergunta feita por Daniel Hart é direcionada a um(a) adolescente (teenager).
Apesar de não sabermos se a palavra teenager (adolescente) se refere a um menino ou a uma menina (já que os substantivos em inglês não têm gênero), sabemos que o pronome “yourself” deverá ser alterado para a terceira pessoa do singular, neste caso “himself” (ele mesmo) ou “herself” (ela mesma), visto que “itself” não é utilizado para fazer referência a pessoas.
Sendo assim, podemos perceber que apenas duas das opções podem ser possíveis: a letra c) e a letra d).
Repare que, se optarmos pela letra d, estaremos dizendo o seguinte: “Daniel Hart pediu a um(a) adolescente afro-americano(a) que ele(a) se descrevesse.” Para que essa fosse a opção correta, o discurso direto de Daniel Hart deveria ser “Describe yourself.”
No entanto, o que Daniel faz é perguntar como o(a) adolescente se descreveria. Assim sendo, uma simples análise do significado das frases conduz à resposta correta.
Importante: observe que ao passar a frase para o discurso indireto, o verbo e o pronome pessoal trocaram de posição, ou seja “… would he…” passou a “…he would…”. O pronome pessoal só vem depois do verbo em perguntas diretas.
(OBJETIVO-SP) The indirect speech of a man to a girl: “What is your father’s job? is
a) A man asked a girl what was her father’s job.
b) A man asked a girl her father was job.
c) A man asked a girl what her father’s job was.
d) A man asked a girl was what her father was job.
e) A man asked a girl what hers father’s job was.
Alternativa correta: c) A man asked a girl what her father’s job was.
Quando a palavra what (qual/o que) está presente no discurso direto, ela deve ser usada no discurso indireto também. Tendo em conta as opções acima, apenas as letras a), c) e e) são consideráveis.
Veja que na frase a, a estrutura é what+ was+her father’s job. Essa estrutura só deveria ter sido usada se se tratasse de uma pergunta direta.
Exemplo:
Bob: What is your phone number? (Qual é o seu número de telefone?) - pergunta direta
Bob asked what my phone number was. (Bob perguntou qual era meu número de telefone.) - pergunta em discurso indireto
No discurso indireto, as posições do verbo e do elemento devem ser trocadas e passamos a ter a estrutura what+her father’s job+ was
Restam agora as letras c) e e).
Observe que na letra e temos um erro gramatical: o pronome objeto (hers) nunca deve ser acompanhado do elemento ao qual ele se refere (nesse caso, father).
Exemplo: My bedroom is clean. Hers is a mess. (Meu quarto está limpo. O dela está uma bagunça.)
Veja que a segunda parte da frase não menciona o elemento ao qual o pronome hers se refere, nesse caso a palavra bedroom (quarto).
Dito isso, apenas a letra c) está correta.
(UESC/2007) I expected it to work, but not so well. (l. 9-10)
In Reported Speech, this sentence becomes: Rossano Amadelli said that he _______________ it to work, but not so well.
The verb tense that completes the blank correctly is in alternative
a) had expected.
b) has expected.
c) have expected.
d) was expecting.
e) would expect.
Alternativa correta: a) had expected.
Observe que quando o verbo principal do discurso direto está no Simple Past, ele passa para o discurso indireto conjugado no Past Perfect.
Assim sendo, “expected” passou a “had expected”.
Alternativa correta: a) had expected.
Observe que quando o verbo principal do discurso direto está no Simple Past, ele passa para o discurso indireto conjugado no Past Perfect.
Assim sendo, “expected” passou a “had expected”.
Alternativa correta: e) She told her boyfriend not to go there anymore.
Nos casos onde o discurso direto é uma frase no imperativo, o discurso indireto geralmente é introduzido pelo verbo dizer no passado (told) + a pessoa que recebe a indicação, sem intermédio de preposição: “…told her boyfriend…”
Observe que, em frases no discurso indireto, “don’t + verbo” deve passar a “not to + verbo”, “come” deve passar a “go” e “here” deve passar a “there”.
- (Escola Naval/2010) Mary saw James, her doctor, two days ago.
James said: “See me tomorrow again.”
Which alternative best reports what he said?
a) He said Mary will see him tomorrow.
b) He told to her to see him the day after.
c) He said to her to see him tomorrow.
d) He told her to see him the day after.
e) He told her to see him the day after tomorrow.
Alternativa correta: d) He told her to see him the day after.
O discurso direto de James consiste em uma frase no imperativo afirmativo. Sendo assim, o discurso indireto deve ser introduzido pelo verbo dizer no passado (told) + a pessoa que recebe a indicação (sem intermédio de preposição): “…told her…”
Sempre que a palavra “tomorrow” é usada no discurso direto, ela é substituída por “the day after” no discurso indireto.
- (EsFCEx/2009) Choose the option that correctly completes the sentence:
I arrived home on foot and my husband asked me where ________________
a) is my car.
b) my car was.
c) was my car.
d) my car is.
e) is your car?
Alternativa correta: b) my car was.
A alternativa b) é a correta pois no discurso indireto, a pergunta também deve ser feita de forma indireta. Sendo assim, a ordem não pode ser “verbo+pronome pessoal ‘my’+car” (“…was my car…?).
A estrutura correta é “my+car+verbo” (“…my car was…”)
Leia os exemplos abaixo e veja a diferença entre uma pergunta direta e uma pergunta indireta:
Exemplos:
Bob: Jane, where is your dog? (Jane, onde está o seu cachorro?) - pergunta direta
Bob asked Jane where her dog was. (Bob perguntou a jane onde o cachorro dela estava.) - pergunta indireta
Assim sendo, as letras a), c) e e) estão incorretas.
Importante: regra geral, quando temos um verbo no Simple Present no discurso direto, ele passa a ser conjugado no Simple Past no discurso indireto.
