Косвенная речь в английском языке. Упражнения на тренировку употребления.

ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ ПРИ УПОТРЕБЛЕНИИ КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ

Must меняется на had to
Can на could
Shall на should
Will на would

Для лучшего усвоения рассмотрим следующие примеры:

‘We must go to school to class.’ — They said they had to go school to class.
‘I can’t paint picture.’ — She said she couldn’t paint picture.
‘I will see my mother soon.’ — He said he would see his mom soon.
‘I shall buy the bread.’ — She said she should buy the bread.

Слова, употребляемые в прямой речи, могут меняться при использовании косвенной следующим образом:

Ago – previously, before;
Yesterday – the day before;
Today – that day;
That/this – the;
On/next Friday – the following Friday;
Last month – the previous month;
The day after tomorrow – in two days’ time;
This weekend – that weekend;
Here – there;
Tomorrow – the following day / the next day;
Tonight – that night;

Рассмотрим изменение слов на примере предложений

‘I`ll drink milk tomorrow.’ – He said he`d drink milk the next day.
‘I saw Mr. Freeman today.’ — She said she’d seen Mr. Freeman that day.
‘I don`t like this lesson.’ — He said he didn`t like that lesson.
‘I met Andy about two weeks ago.’ — She said she had met Andy about two weeks before.
‘We visited our grandparents last Monday.’ — They said they had visited their grandparents the previous Monday.

Безусловно, нельзя заменять слова подобным образом во всех предложениях. Подобная замена имеет место только там, где она уместна и подходит по смыслу.

Так, например, рассмотрим предложение: She said, ‘I like to live here.’ Предположим, что она говорит о Лондоне. В косвенной речи ее слова можно передать по-разному:

She said she liked to live there – она говорит, что ей нравится жить там. (Соответственно предполагается, что вы сами не проживаете в Лондоне)
She said she liked to live here – она говорит, что ей нравится жить здесь. (Получается, что и вы проживаете, или на данный момент находитесь в этом городе)

На одном простом примере становится понятно, что переводя прямую речь в косвенную, просто необходимо обращать внимание на внешние обстоятельства и уже затем делать выводы, уместным ли будет то или иное слово или фраза.

При образовании косвенной речи из прямой, такие глаголы как ought to (должны), would, might, could, should – не изменяются.

ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ С WH–ВОПРОСАМИ.

Следует сразу отметить что wh–вопросы, это те, которые начинаются со следующих слов: Why, Where, Who, When, What и другие, начинающиеся на буквы wh.

Следует отметить, что большое количество вопросов в косвенной речи, начинается после основного глагола, который употребляется в прошедшем времени (Past Tense). Что же касается самого вопроса, то время в нем изменяется согласно вышеуказанным правилам образования времен.

Порядок расстановки слов в вопросах, которые относятся к косвенной речи, меняется:

‘What`s the time?’ — She asked what time it was. – правильно сформулированное предложение.

Неправильно будет так: She asked what was the time.

«How’s your grandmother? » — He asked me how my mother was. — правильная расстановка слов.

Неправильный вариант: He asked me how was my mother.

Глагол «to ask» (спросить), применяется в косвенной речи как с объектом, так и без него:

He asked me how my mom was.
He asked how my mom was.

Приведем еще несколько примеров для закрепления этого материала:

‘How did you get to home?’ — He asked how I had got to home.
‘Where do you live?’ — The friend wanted to know where I lived.
‘Why are you so early?’ — The doctor demanded to know why I was so early.

IF И WHETHER ПРИ КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ

If и whether в косвенной речи употребляются только с общими вопросами (не с wh–вопросами), на которые могут быть только два ответа: нет или да.

При построении общих вопросов, используются все вышеуказанные правила, касающиеся согласования времен.

Whether, как и If, в английском языке обозначает частицу «ли».

Стоит отметить, что порядок слов в общих вопросах косвенной речи меняется, например:

‘Are you tired?’ — She asked if I was tired. (Она спросила, была ли я уставшая).

‘Did you read the book?’ — He asked whether I had read the book.(Он спросил меня, читал ли я эту книгу).

‘Have you finished your job?’ — He asked if I had finished my job. (Он спросил, закончила ли я свою работу).

ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ КОМАНД (ПРИКАЗОВ) В КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ

При приказе (команде) в косвенной речи употребляется сначала основной глагол, затем объект и инфинитив:

‘Stop!’ — She told the student to stop.
‘Break!’ — He told the boxer to break.

Что же касается отрицательной формы, то порядок слов тот же, за исключением того что перед инфинитивом ставится частичка «not». Например:

‘Don`t sleep here!’ — The teacher ordered the student not to sleep there.
‘Don`t go!’ — She told him not to go.

Tell, warn, instruct, order, command– основные глаголы, которые чаще всего встречаются в приказах косвенной речи.

УПОТРЕБЛЕНИЕ ПРОСЬБЫ (ЗАПРОСА) В КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ.

Предложения. в которых мы употребляем запрос, несут в себе обращение к человеку с просьбой о чем-либо.

Would и could – слова, с которых начинаются запросы в прямой речи.

To ask (просить, спрашивать) – основной глагол, с которого, как правило, начинается запрос в косвенной речи.

‘Would you close the window, please?’ — He asked me to close the window. .
‘Could you pour me water, please?’ – He asked me to pour him water.

Но! Следует обратить внимание на то, что ни в коем случае нельзя путать просьбу с приказом, иначе вас могут неправильно понять.

Например:

He told me to give him the book – он велел мне отдать ему книгу;
He asked me to give him the book – он попросил меня дать ему книгу.

Помимо того, что необходимо различать приказ от просьбы, еще необходимо различать предложение от просьбы.

Так, например, предложение будет звучать следующим образом:

‘Would you like a cake? » – He asked if I would like a cake. («Хочешь пирог?» — он спросил, хочу ли я пирога).

Просьба же будет звучать чуть иначе:

«Would you pass me a cake?» – He asked me to pass him a cake.(«Можете передать мне пирог?» — он попросил меня передать ему пирог).
