Задание 37 · Косвенная речь

Английский язык. 8 класс — Ваулина Ю. Е., Дули Д., Подоляко О. Е, 8 класс

Условие

Переведите в косвенную речь: «Tom said: "I have finished"»; «She said: "I will call you"»; «He said: "I am busy"».

Решение с объяснением

  1. Tom said that he had finished — Present Perfect → Past Perfect
  2. She said that she would call me — will → would, you → me
  3. He said that he was busy — Present Simple → Past Simple при согласовании времён

Правило согласования времён: если главный глагол в прошедшем, время в придаточном «сдвигается» на шаг назад.

Ответ: Tom said that he had finished; She said that she would call me; He said that he was busy
