Повтор правила согласования времен и изменение наречий времени и местоимений
Если вы хотите передать чьи-то слова, вы используете косвенную речь. Вспомните основные правила для перевода из прямой речи в косвенную.
Если событие, которое вы пересказываете, произошло в прошлом, используйте прошедшее время глаголов сообщения (например: said/told) и измените предложение прямой речи следующим образом.
verb tense ( backshift) (глагольная форма)
adverbs of time and place/demonstrative pronouns (наречия времени и места/указательные местоимения)
pronouns (местоимение)
Эти изменения происходят в соответствии с правилом согласования времен (Sequence of Tenses Rule) и логикой повествования.
Direct speech: Mary said, "We went to school yesterday".
Reported speech: Mary said (that) they had gone to school the day before.

Косвенная речь может быть представлена косвенными утверждениями, вопросами, приказами и просьбами. Reported speech can be given in reported statements, reported questions, orders and requests.
На этом уроке вы познакомитесь с косвенными вопросами, приказами и просьбами. Reported questions, orders and requests.
Общие вопросы в косвенной речи
Начнем со знакомства с общими вопросами (теми, которые требуют ответа да/нет), а затем продолжим со специальными вопросами.
Прочитайте примеры, обращая внимание на структуру косвенных вопросов:
Direct question: “Did you turn off the TV?”
Reported question: She asked if / whether I had turned off the TV. Direct question: “Are you busy now?”
Reported question: He asked her if/whether she was busy then. Direct question: Susan asked her friend, “Do you like my new skirt?”
Reported question: Susan wanted to know if/ whether her friend liked her new skirt.
Direct question: “Did you enjoy the party?”
Reported question: She asked me if/whether I had enjoyed the party.
Какие изменения произошли?
В вопросах не используют глаголы сообщения say/tell, вместо них используют ask/wanted to know.
Чтобы составить косвенный вопрос не нужно использовать вспомогательный глагол, используйте if или whether, а затем прямой порядок слов, то есть подлежащее и сказуемое.
Помните об изменениях глагольной формы, наречий времени и места и местоимений как личных, так и указательных.
Прочитайте примеры еще раз, анализируя изменения:
She asked if / whether I had turned off the TV. He asked her if/whether she was busy then. Susan wanted to know if/ whether her friend liked her new skirt.
She asked me if/whether I’d enjoyed the party.
Пример:
Jenny is a younger sister and she always asks her elder sister a lot of questions.
Jenny asked her sister, “Are you going to the party on Sunday?”
“Will Sam go to the party with you?”
“Has he phoned you today?”
Two days later Jenny’s sister is reporting this conversation to her friend Lisa.
“Jenny asked me if I was going to the party and whether Sam would go to the party with her and if he had called me that day.”

Повтор структур с различными глаголами сообщения
Вы уже познакомились с глаголами сообщения, которые можно использовать вместо say и tell.
Однако нужно быть внимательными при переходе из прямой речи в косвенную, так как эти глаголы влияют на структуру предложения, которое за ними следует.
Повторите структуры:
Примечание
После некоторых глаголов можно использовать разные структуры.
Глагол сообщение + (союз that) придаточное предложение
(используем правило согласования времен)
Verb (that) clause. (This is the same as with the verb SAY)
She said, “I will marry you.”–
She agreed that she would marry him.
David said, “I will take you to the station.”
David promised that he would take me to the station.
Следующая структура отличается! Здесь вам не понадобится правило согласования времен, так как после глагола сообщения нужно использовать ИНФИНИТИВ.
Примечание

Глагол сообщение + инфинитив глагола из предложения прямой речи.
Verb+ to infinitive

Приказы в косвенной речи

Приказ – это когда кто-то говорит кому-то, что необходимо сделать, форма приказа не является вежливой, это команда.
Обычно используют глагол tell для передачи приказов в косвенной речи, и после него используется инфинитив глагола.
tell + (pro)noun + to + infinitive

The mother told her childnot to run.
Обратите внимание! Частичка not стоит перед инфинитивом.
The mother told her child not to run.
После глагола сообщения используется инфинитив, мы не прибегаем к правилу согласования времен. Однако, возможно, необходимо будет изменить местоимения и наречия места и времени.

Косвенная речь также может быть представлена в виде просьбы.
Просьба – это когда кто-то чем-то вас вежливо просит. Обычно глагол сообщения для передачи просьб – ask, и после него используется инфинитив глагола.
ask + (pro)noun + to + infinitive
