Vous pouvez répondre à la question “What did he/she say?”  De deux façons :

             - En répétant les mots qui sont dits (discours direct) ·     

             - En annonçant les mots qui sont dits (discours indirect ou annoncé).

Le discours direct

Le discours direct  répète, ou  cite, les mots exacts qui sont dits. Quand nous utilisons le discours direct par écrit, nous plaçons les mots parlés entre des guillemets (“….”) et il n’y a aucun changement de ces mots. Nous pouvons annoncer quelque chose qui est dite  en ce moment (par exemple une conversation téléphonique) ou dire plus tard a quelqu’un  une conversation passée.

Exemple:

She says “What time will you be home?” and I said “I don’t know! “

Le discours indirect

Le discours indirect est habituellement  utilisé pour parler approximativement du passé, donc il faut changer normalement le temps des mots qui sont dits . Nous utilisons des verbes qui annoncent, comme ‘say’, ‘tell’, ‘ask’, et nous pouvons utiliser le mot ‘that’  pour présenter les mots annoncés. Les guillemets ne sont pas utilisés.

She said, “I saw him.”  She said that she had seen him.

a.      ‘That’ peut être enlevé
She told him that she was happy.

b.     ‘Say’ et ‘tell’:
Il faut utiliser‘say’ quand il n’y a pas d’objet indirect
He said that he was tired.

Ruppert bear is a children’s comic strip character who features in a series of books based around his adventures. The character was created by the English artist Mary Tourtel and first appeared in the Daily Express on 8 November 1920. Rupert’s initial purpose was to grab sales from the rival Daily Mail and Daily Mirror. Since then he has become significant to children’s culture in the United Kingdom. In 1935 the mantle of Rupert artist and storyteller was taken over by Alfred Bestall, who was previously an illustrator for Punch and other glossy magazines. Bestall proved to be successful in the field of children’s literature and worked on Rupert stories and artwork into his 90s. Since then various other artists and writers have continued the series, which still runs to this day.

Most of the characters in the series are anthropomorphic (animals with humanoid forms); for instance, Rupert himself is a humanoid bear and his best friend Bill is a humanoid badger. Rupert’s pals include both an elephant (Edward Trunk) and a mouse (Willie) who are both scaled to be about the same size as Rupert and Bill. There are also a few human characters in the stories, such as the Professor (who lives in a castle with his servant), Tiger Lily (a Chinese girl) and less frequently occurring characters such as Sailor Sam, Captain Binnacle and Rollo, the Gypsy boy.

The series often features fantastic and magical adventures in faraway lands. The comic strip was, and still is, published daily in the newspaper, with many of these stories later being printed in books, and every year since 1936 a Rupert annual has also been released.

The success of the Rupert series has led to the creation of several television series based on the character. It also has a large fan following, with such groups as The Followers of Rupert.

is the other ranks’ nickname for junior officers in the British Army, as Rupert Bear is thought to epitomise traditional public school values.

The Roman Museum is underground at the level of the Roman town. It’s an exciting mix of excavated real objects: authentic reconstructions; and preserved remains of a Roman town house with its famous mosaics.

Reconstructions include a Roman market place, with a shoe maker, fabric seller and fruit and vegetable stall. There is also part of a house with its kitchen set out in authentic detail.

A skilful computer program brings together pictures of the excavations on the site, and from the archaeologists’ detail it generates reconstruction images of what the great house found here was like in Roman times.

There is also a test your skills touch screen computer game on Roman technology; and at the end of the museum is the acclaimed “touch the past” area where the visitor can handle real Roman artefacts and follow the archaeologist’s skills of deduction.

The impressive pillared entrance is in Butchery Lane and very close to the Cathedral.
