Questões de Concurso

O Discurso Indireto (*Reported Speech* ou *Indirect Speech*) é a estrutura usada para relatar o que outra pessoa disse, sem citar suas palavras exatas. Esse processo geralmente envolve mudanças nos tempos verbais (chamado *backshift*), nos pronomes e nos advérbios de tempo e lugar, para adequar a fala relatada ao novo contexto temporal e espacial do narrador.

Acerca das regras de transformação do discurso direto para o indireto, marque V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:

(__)Ao relatar uma fala, o *Simple Present* do discurso direto ("I *work* here") geralmente muda para o *Simple Past* no indireto ("He said he *worked* there").
(__)O *Simple Past* do discurso direto ("I *saw* the movie") geralmente muda para o *Past Perfect* no indireto ("She said she *had seen* the movie").
(__)Advérbios de tempo e lugar também mudam para refletir a perspectiva do narrador, como "now" mudando para "then" e "here" mudando para "there".
(__)Não é necessário fazer qualquer alteração no tempo verbal se o verbo principal de relato (*reporting verb*) estiver no presente (e.g., "She *says*...").
