INDIRECT / REPORTED SPEECH (FÜGGŐ BESZÉD)

INDIRECT / REPORTED SPEECH (FÜGGŐ BESZÉD) A függő beszéd egy valaki részéről elhangzott kijelentés, kérdés, felszólítás, óhaj, kívánság vagy tanácsadás közvetítése tárgyi mellékmondat formájában. Ha a főmondat (az idézetet bevezető mondat) állítmánya jelen időben, jövő időben, vagy Present Perfect-ben van, a mellékmondat (ami maga az idézet) változatlan marad. Ha a főmondat állítmánya múlt időben van, a mellékmondatban az alábbiak szerinti változtatásokra van szükség. he is he was he was he had been he will be he would be he works he worked he is working he was working he has worked he had worked he has been working he had been working he worked he had worked he was working he had been working he had worked ugyanaz he had been working ugyanaz he will work he would work he will be working he would be working he will have worked he would have worked he will have been working he would have been working will would last night the previous night/ the night before shall should next week the following week may might today that day can could yesterday the previous day/ the day before have to had to the day before two days before yesterday must must/ have to megfelelő alakja tomorrow the next day/ the following day the day after tomorrow in two day s time a year ago a year before/ the previous year here there this that could, would, should, might, ought to nincs változás these those now then Csoportosításuk: I. Kijelentő mondatok II. Kérdő mondatok III. Felszólító mondatok, óhaj, kívánság, tanácsadás IV. Különleges esetek

I. Kijelentő mondatok A kijelentő mondatok jellegzetessége, hogy a főmondat és a mellékmondat között that kötőszó áll, amely akár el is hagyható, ha a két tagmondat közötti kapcsolat tárgyi alárendelés. A főmondat és a mellékmondat közé a magyar helyesírási szabályoktól eltérően- nem teszünk vesszőt. He told me, I have been waiting for you for a long time. He told me (that) he had been waiting me for a long time. A mellékmondat bevezetése többnyire a következő igékkel történik: say, tell sy(!), inform, announce, explain, prove, complain, mention, hear, read, write, let sy know, object, protest, shout, whisper A kijelentő mondatok képzésekor a fenti léptetési szabályokat kell alkalmazni. Vannak azonban kivételek és különleges esetek, amikor nem szükséges változtatás. Nincs igeidőváltozás az alábbi esetekben Feltételes mondatok: az 1. típusban a mellékmondat a léptetési szabályok szerint alakul, míg a 2. és 3. típusban változatlan marad. 1. típus: She said, I will be here in time if I catch the bus. She said (that ) she would be there in time if she caught the bus. 2. típus: If I had the necessary documents, I could get the job, he said. He said (that) if he had the necessary documents, he could get the job. 3. típus: She said to him, I wouldn t have left you if you hadn t cheated me. She said to him (that) she wouldn t have left him if he hadn t cheated her. A Simple Past változatlan maradhat, ha a cselekvés időpontja konkrétan meg van határozva We returned home on Sunday, they said. They said (that) they returned/ had returned home on Sunday. A Past Continuous változatlan maradhat abban az esetben, ha az a cselekvés folyamatosságára utal, nem pedig annak befejezettségére When I met her she was preparing for her exams, he said. He said (that) when he met her she was preparing for her exams. De: She said, I was planning to sell my flat, but finally I have changed my mind. She said (that) she had been planning to sell her flat but finally she had changed her mind. wish/ if only; would rather; had better; it is (high) time we...használatakor nincs változás I wish/ if only we didn t write a test, my son said. My son said (that) he wished they didn t write a test. I would rather you bought this golden necklace, said my wife. My wife said (that) she would rather I bought that golden necklace. You had better stay in bed for a few days, said the doctor. The doctor said that I had better stay in bed for a few days. It is (high) time we went home, our guests said.

II. Kérdő mondatok Kérdő mondatokban is a kijelentő mondatoknál alkalmazott változtatásokra van szükség, viszont lényeges különbség, hogy itt nem használhatjuk a that-at kötőszóként. A kérdő szórend egyenes szórenddé változik, és nem kérdőjel, hanem pont van a mondat végén. A két tagmondat közé itt sem teszünk vesszőt. Az egyenes kérdést bevezető say igét ask, inquire, wonder, want to know etc. érdeklődést kifejező igévé kell változtatni. He said, Is there a library in your town? He inquired if there was a library in our town. Két fajtáját különböztetjük meg: a, Kérdőszóval bevezetett (kiegészítendő) kérdések Az átalakítás során a kérdőszó lesz a függő mondat kötőszava. Where do you live? she asked. She asked me where I lived. Csak ask vezetheti be a függő kérdést, ha megnevezzük a személyt, akihez a kérdést intézzük The doctor asked me, What are you complaining about? The doctor asked me what I was complaining about. b, Kérdőszó nélküli (eldöntendő) kérdések Kötőszóként if vagy whether (vajon) használatos. She asked, Can you cook? He inquired, Do you speak English? She asked me if / whether I could swim. He inquired if / whether I spoke English. Megjegyzés: whether szerepel kötőszóként, ha a kérdés két választási lehetőséget tartalmaz He asked, Do you want to make a call or not? He asked whether I wanted to make a call or not. He asked, Do you want to travel by air or rail? He asked whether I wanted to travel by air or by rail. whether + infinitive akkor alkalmazható, ha wonder, want to know vezeti be a függő kérdést (az inquire ritkán használatos) He wondered, Shall/ Should I try to repair it or have a mechanic in? He wondered whether to try to repair it or have a mechanic in. He wondered whether he should try to repair it or have a mechanic in. feltételes módban whether-t használunk, mert máskülönben két if-nek kellene a mondatban szerepelnie He asked, If you sell your old car, will you buy a new one? He asked whether, if I sold my old car, I would buy a new one. shall I / we? a, jövőbeli eseményre vonatkozó találgatás esetén többnyire wonder-t használunk bevezetésként He wondered, Shall I ever meet her again? He wondered if he would ever meet her again. b, ask, inquire etc. bevezető igét és should vagy be + infinitive szerkezetet alkalmazunk, ha tanácsot kérünk vagy utasításra várunk He said, Where shall I put this chair, grandma? He asked his grandma where he was to put that chair. He asked his grandma where he should put that chair. c, kínálás, segítség felajánlása She said, Shall I make you some coffee? She offered me to make some coffee. d, javaslat He said, Shall we meet outside the cinema?
