NOTAS
1. He escrito la palabra that entre paréntesis porque en todos los casos puede omitirse.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
2. Algunas oraciones admiten más de una posibilidad. Por ejemplo, el adverbio de tiempo tomorrow puede pasar al discurso indirecto como the next day o the following day, y yesterday puede transformarse indistintamente en the day before o en the previous day.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
3. El verbo modal may cambia a might cuando expresa posibilidad (= possibility) y cambia a could cuando expresa permiso (= permission).
Ejemplos:
• Direct speech: Jane said, “I may not be in class tomorrow.” (possibility)
• Indirect speech: Jane said she might not be in class the next day.
• Direct speech: “May I use the bathroom, please?”, the boy asked. (permission)
• Indirect speech: The boy asked if he could use the bathroom.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
4. El verbo modal must cambia a had to (o no cambia y permanece como must) cuando expresa obligación (= obligation), pero siempre permanece invariable cuando expresa deducción o especulación o (= deduction or speculation).
Ejemplos:
• Direct speech: Henry said, “I must work on Sundays.” (obligation)
• Indirect speech: Henry said he had to work on Sundays. / Henry said he must work on Sundays.
• Direct speech: “He must be tired”, she said. (speculation)
• Indirect speech: She said he must be tired.
Saludos.
