3. ESTRUCTURA: La estructura de las frases cambia dependiendo de su tipo:
a) Enunciativas: el verbo introductorio es say seguido de “that”. Si pensamos mencionar la persona a la que se refiere la frase
utilizaremos el verbo tell:
He said: “James has lost his watch”. = He said that James had lost his watch.
He said to Julie: “James has lost his watch”. = He told Julie that James ...
b) Interrogativas: verbo introductorio ask seguido del pronombre interrogativo de la frase directa o de “if” o “whether” si es una frase
de “sí/no”, pero nunca se utiliza “that” en frases interrogativas.
He said: “What time is it?" = He asked what time it was.
He said:“Is your sister coming tonight?” = He asked if/whether my sister was coming that night.
c) Imperativas: el verbo introductorio siempre es tell seguido de la persona a quien va dirigida la orden y de una oración de infinitivo
con “to”:
He said: “Tom, go to bed, it’s too late.” = He told Tom to go to bed because it was too late.
Aunque a veces se utiliza el verbo “ask” si la orden tiene forma de petición educada:
He said: “Tom, could you go to the shop for me?” = He asked Tom to go to the shop for him.
d) Sugerencias: el verbo introductorio suele ser “suggest” y la oración de información irá en gerundio. Cuando haya que mencionar
la persona a la que se sugiere una acción, ésta será un adjetivo posesivo o un pronombre objeto

a) En algunos casos el verbo no cambia en la frase de estilo indirecto:
• Cuando el verbo introductorio va en presente:
She says she's arriving at Heathrow
• Verdades universales y hechos más o menos permanentes (incluyendo hábitos o acciones repetidas)
She told me that many shops in London are always open on Sundays
• los modales would, could, may, might, ought to, should , used to:
I used to live in China = She said she used to live in China
He said: “I would do it if I had the money” = He said that he would do it if he could.
b) Una de las cosas que pueden cambiar son los verbos introductorios, dependiendo del tipo de frase y de las circunstancias del caso.
Estos verbos sustituirán a los signos de exclamación y otros de la frase de E.D.
• Statements: assure, boast (about + subst), comment, inform, mention, remark, tell, ...
Algunos no usan la estructura tradicional, sino que rigen TO + INF: agree, promise, refuse, threaten ...
He said that he would do it = He agreed to do it
He said he wouldn't lend her any more money = He refused to lend her ...
Otros rigen gerundio: accuse + obj + of + -ing, admit, deny, apologize for, insist on ...
• Questions: el “THAT” de las frases enunciativas cambia por IF/WHETHER, Verbos: ask, want to know*, enquire*, wonder*,
beg me to tell him, implore, ... (los que levan asterisco no llevan O.I.).
Hay que mencionar el uso de WHETHER:
He asked me whether I wanted to go by air or by sea
He asked me whether or not I wanted to insure my luggage
• Commands, requests: Los verbos introductores dependen de la relación entre los hablantes: advise, ask, beg, command,
encourage, forbid, implore, invite, order, recommend, remind, request, shout to, tell, urge, warn, ... Todos ellos usan la
estructura Vb + obj + TO INF (el verbo ask no lleva objeto indirecto). La estructura TO BE TO + INF sustituye a order:
He ordered me not to open the door = He said I was not to open the door
• Exclamations: pueden omitirse en la frase indirecta o usar verbos de sentido común: curse, greet, thank, wish, congratulate,
swear
"What a ..." = He said that it was a ..." "Good morning, people" = He greeted us
"Damn the child, he's spilled the wine on my coat" = He was angry at the child for spilling .../He expressed annoyance at
having wine spilled ...
• Advice: además de tell hay otras estructuras:
"If I were you I would/should ..." = He advised me to ...
"You should .../You'd better ..."
"
"
"I'd be very grateful if you ..." = He politely asked me to ...
"If your brakes are bad you shouldn't drive too fast" = He said that if ... I shouldn't/ He told/advised me not to drive if...
Let's ... = He suggested + GER (Let's go to the cinema = He suggested going to the cinema)
Do ... = He advised/urged + obj + INF (Talk to her = He advised/urged/told me to talk to her)
Cuando let no es sugerencia tiene otro tratamiento: "I don't care, let the government fix it" = He said that he didn't care and
that the government ought to fix it.
