Le tre cose che si possono riportare, e la costruzione di ognuna.
| Tipo | Costruzione | Esempio |
|---|---|---|
| affermazione | said (that) + frase | He said that he was tired. |
| affermazione con destinatario | told + qualcuno + frase | He told me he was tired. |
| domanda aperta | asked + parola interrogativa + frase | She asked where I lived. |
| domanda chiusa | asked + if / whether + frase | She asked if I was ready. |
| ordine | told + qualcuno + to + infinito | He told me to wait. |
| ordine negativo | told + qualcuno + not to + infinito | He told me not to wait. |
Attenzione
Gli ordini non usano mai that: passano sempre per l'infinito.
- He told me to leave. ✅
- He told me that I leave. ❌
