Tlmočenie príkazov a žiadostí
Keď chceme tlmočiť príkaz či žiadosť, môžeme použiť sloveso ako 'tell' s to-vetou: He told me to go away. Vzor je nasledujúci: sloveso + nepriamy predmet + to-veta. Nepriamy predmet je osoba, na ktorú je hovorené. Ďalšie slovesá použité k tlmočeniu príkazov a žiadostí týmto spôsobom sú: command, order, warn, ask, advise, invite, beg, teach a forbid.
Príklady
| Priama reč | Nepriama reč |
|---|---|
| The doctor said to me, "Stop smoking!". | The doctor told me to stop smoking. |
| "Get out of the car!" said the policeman. | The policeman ordered him to get out of the car. |
| "Could you please be quiet," she said. | She asked me to be quiet. |
| The man with the gun said to us, "Don't move!" | The man with the gun warned us not to move. |
Žiadosti o predmety
Žiadosti o predmety sú tlmočené pomocou vzorca "asked for" + predmet.
Príklady
| Priama reč | Nepriama reč |
|---|---|
| "Can I have an apple?", she asked. | She asked for an apple. |
| "Can I have the newspaper, please?" | He asked for the newspaper. |
| "May I have a glass of water?" he said. | He asked for a glass of water. |
| "Sugar, please." | She asked for the sugar. |
| "Could I have three kilos of onions?" | He asked for three kilos of onions. |
Návrhy
Návrhy sú najčastejšie tlmočené použitím slovies suggest, insist, recommend, demand, request, a propose, nasledovanými 'that' vetou. 'That' a 'should' sú v týchto vetách voliteľné, ako je ukázané v prvých dvoch príkladoch nižšie. Nezabudnite, že suggest, recommend a propose môžu byť tiež nasledované gerundiom, aby bol eliminovaný nepriamy predmet (prijímateľ návrhu), a teda bol návrh slušnejší. Toto použitie gerundia je ilustrované vo štvrtom a piatom príklade nižšie.
