REPORTED SPEECH (DISCURSO INDIRECTO)
O Reported speech é reproduzir o que outras pessoas disseram, isto é, usar o chamado discurso indirecto,
é o que todos os dias nós fazemos, a propósito de inúmeras situações. Para tal, irás verificar que terás de
fazer determinadas alterações do Discurso Directo para o dito Reported Speech (Discurso Indirecto) isto,
sempre que o verbo subordinante se apresente no PAST.
As alterações serão sobretudo a nível dos tempos verbais, preposições de lugar e tempo, pronomes
pessoais, possessivos.
