Discurso Indireto
É possível relatar o que foi dito por alguém de duas formas: utilizando o discurso direto
(nesse caso apenas transcreve-se o que foi dito) e através do discurso indireto (quando
optamos por contar com nossas próprias palavras o que foi dito). Veja os exemplos:
Discurso direto: Bob said: “I love Mary”. (Bob disse: “Eu amo a Mary”).
Discurso indireto: Bob said that he loved Mary. (Bob disse que ele amava a Mary).
Discurso direto: Bob told Mary: “I love you”. (Bob disse à Mary: “Eu te amo”).
Discurso indireto: Bob told Mary that he loved her. (Bob disse à Mary que a amava).
Diferença de “said” e “told”
Apesar de ambos significarem “disse”, devemos usar “said” toda vez em que na frase não
for mencionado com quem se está falando. O uso do “told”, no entanto, deve ser usado
sempre que for mencionado com quem se está falando, como no exemplo acima: Bob
disse à Mary, logo, Bob told Mary, e nunca, Bob said Mary.
Ao passar a frase do discurso direto para o indireto, e vice-versa, é necessário ficar atento
aos tempos verbais, assim como aos pronomes e advérbios de tempo que acabam
sofrendo alterações. Segue abaixo uma tabela para consulta:
