Style indirect / les modifications à apporter : leçon 1

                                                    REPORTED SPEECH

 Le passage au style indirect apporte plusieurs modifications. 

A) Si le temps ne change pas :

 Jane asks Peter : « Do you think we can open a new shop ? Will my cakes be famous here too ? » 

→ Jane asks Peter IF HE thinkS THEY can open a new shop. She wonders IF HER cakes will be famous here too…

⇛changement de syntaxe (ordre des mots) dans les questions : il n’y a plus ASV
⇛ changement de ponctuation : il n’y a plus de guillemets dans les questions
⇛changement de pronoms personnels et de pronoms et déterminants possessifs (my cakes → her cakes). 

 B) Si le discours est rapporté au passé : 

En plus des modifications ci-dessus il faut ajouter : 

⇛modification des indicateurs spatiaux et temporels (si le discours n’est pas rapporté le même jour)

 Ex : Jane : « Did you eat chocolate yesterday ?» 
→ Jane asked me if I had eaten chocolate the day before …
 Ex2 : Jane : « Will you come tomorrow ? » 
→ She asked me if I would come the next day/ the following day…
