NOTAS

1. Cuando se pasan oraciones en discurso directo (= direct speech) al discurso indirecto (= reported speech) en pasado hay que hacer cambios en los tiempos verbales, en los pronombres y en ciertos adverbios de lugar y de tiempo. He resaltado en negrita los elementos cambiados en cada oración.

2. Algunas de las oraciones traducidas al español resultan ambiguas, por lo que es necesario modificarlas. Sin conocer el contexto, es difícil hacerlo, así que algunas de las traducciones que he escrito son 'tentativas'.
