Hello ! Certains n’ont pas tout à fait compris le style indirect alors lisez bien ce qui suit.
Nous avons déjà travaillé sur le style indirect quand les verbes introducteurs sont au présent.
J’appelle les verbes introducteurs ceux qui introduisent la phrase reprise au sthyle indirect , à savoir :
say / tell / wonder / ask etc…
Lire les explications suivantes et faire si vous le souhaitez les exercices suivants que vous pourrez me rendre soit lundi 18 soit m’envoyer à
Le style indirect sert à rapporter les paroles de quelqu’un.
Il faut : – changer tous les pronoms
ex: « I am worried about my future » she said
he said she was worried about her future.
– changer les temps
correspondance des temps : présent ————preterit
preterit————-plu perfect
present perfect—-plu perfect
futur —————conditionnel
– changer les expressions de temps :
yesterday ———the day before
last night———-the night before
tomorow———-the day after
next week———the week after
ex: »I went to the cinema yesterday »
She said she had gone to the cinema the day before
QUESTIONS EN WHO/WHAT SUJET

WHO étant sujet,il reste à sa place devant le verbe.
