REPORTED (INDIRECT) SPEECH (КОСВЕННАЯ РЕЧЬ)

Если сказуемое главного предложения выражено глаголом в настоящем времени, то в придаточном дополнительном предложении сказуемое употребляется в требуемом по смыслу времени.

We know he lives in Paris. Мы знаем, что он живет в Париже.
He says he is watching TV. Он говорит, что смотрит телевизор
Kate says she sent the letter yesterday. Катя говорит, что отправила письмо вчера.
Mr. Brown is sure they will sign the contract tomorrow. Мистер Браун уверен, что они подпишут контракт завтра.

Если сказуемое главного предложения выражено глаголом в прошедшем времени, то при переводе прямой речи в косвенную соблюдается правило согласования времен, т.е. сказуемое придаточного дополнительного предложения должно быть употреблено в одном из прошедших времен. При этом происходят следующие изменения:

Direct Speech (Прямая речь)

Reported Speech (Косвенная речь)

Present Simple Past Simple
Present Continuous Past Continuous
Past Simple Past Perfect
Present Perfect Past Perfect
Past Perfect Past Perfect
Future Simple (Will) Future in the Past (Would)

Для выражения действия, одновременного с действием главного предложения, в придаточном предложении употребляется Past Simple или Past Continuous:

I was sure that he was busy. Я была уверена, что он занят.
He said he was watching TV. Он сказал, что смотрит телевизор.

Для выражения действия, предшествующего действию главного предложения, в придаточном предложении употребляется Past Perfect:

We knew he had left for Madrid. Мы знали, что он уехал в Мадрид.

Для выражения последующего (будущего) действия, в придаточном предложении употребляется Future in the Past:

I didn’t doubt that my friends would meet me at the station. Я не сомневался, что мои друзья встретят меня на станции.

Употребляемые в прямой речи личные и притяжательные местоимения в косвенной речи заменяются по смыслу (например, wethey , my book his/her book и т.п.).

Следующим образом также заменяются указательные местоимения, обстоятельства места и времени:

Direct Speech (Прямая речь)

Reported Speech (Косвенная речь)

this → that these → those here → there now → then today → that day yesterday → the day before ago → before last (year) → the previous (year) in → later tomorrow → the next day/the following day the day after tomorrow → two days later next (year) → the following (year)

Повествовательные предложения при переводе из прямой речи в косвенную вводятся союзом that, который может опускаться:

I hoped (that) they would reduce the price. Я надеялся, что они снизят цену.

При переводе вопросительных предложений в косвенную речь изменяется порядок слов в предложении – сказуемое ставится после подлежащего:

- Where does John work? They asked me where John worked.
- Why are you late? They wanted to know why I was late.
- How will you spend your week-end? They wondered how I would spend my week-end.

Общие вопросы при переводе в косвенную речь вводятся с помощью союзов if или whether, соответствующих в русском языке частице ли:

- Have you finished your report? Mr. Brown asked me if (whether) I had finished my report

Повелительное наклонение в косвенной речи передается инфинитивным оборотом. При передаче просьбы употребляется глагол to ask (просить), а для передачи приказания – to tell (сказать, велеть, приказать).

- Will you show your passport? The clerk asked me to show my passport.
- Don’t close the window, please. Jane asked me not to close the window.
- Don’t be late. They told me not to be late.
