Tlmočenie zámerov, nádejí a sľubov
Keď tlmočíme zámer, nádej alebo sľub, používame primerané oznamovacie sloveso, nasledované 'that' vetou, obsahujúcou 'would', alebo vetou s neurčitkom to. Slovesá použité v tomto vzorci zahŕňajú: hope, promise, threaten, guarantee a swear. Nezabudnite, že slovo 'that' je pri použití tejto vety voliteľné, tak ako v prvom príklade nižšie.
