ПРЯКА И НЕПРЯКА РЕЧ - DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH
1.	Прявилата за съгласуване на времената се прилагат особено често, когато се превръща пряка реч в непряка и глаголът, с който се въвежди непряката реч, е в минало време. Тогава времената, употребени в пряката реч, се изменят по следния начин:
	The Present Simple I work	става		The Past Simple I worked
	The Present Progressive I am working	става		The Past Progressive I was working
	The Present Perfect I have worked	става		The Past Perfect I had worked
	The Present Perfect Progressive I have been working	става		The Past Perfect Progressive I had been working
	The Future Simple I shall work	става		The Future Simple in the Past I should work
	The Future Progressive I shall be working	става		The Future Progressive in the Past I should be working
	The Future Perfect I shall have worked	става		The Future Perfect in the Past I should have worked
	The Future Perfect Progressive I shall have been working	става		The Future Perfect Progressive in the Past I should have been working
	The past Simple I worked	става		The Past Perfect I had worked
	The Past Progressive I was working	става		The Past Perfect Progressive I had been working
	The Past Perfect I had worked	остава		The Past Perfect I had worked
	The Past Perfect Progressive I had been working	остава		The Past Perfect Progressive I had been working
2.	Освен промяната на времената в непряката реч стават и следните промени: а) Личните и притежателните местоимення се изменят по лице според смисъла:
	He said, I am coining.		Той каза: "Аз ще дойда."
	He said that he was coming.		Той каза, че (той) щял да дойде.
	She said to me, I saw you at the theatre a few days ago.		Тя ми каза: „Видях те в театъра преди няколко дни."
	She told me that she had seen me at the theatre a few days before.		Тя ми каза, че ме с видяла в театъра преди няколко дни.
	б) Показателните местимения this, these се изменят в that, those:
	He said, I don't like these shoes.
	He said he didn't like those shces.
	в) Наречията за мято и време се изменят, както следва:.
	here	става		there
	now	става		then
	today	става		that day
	next week	става		the following week
	tomorrow	става		the next (the following) day
	ago	става		before
	last year	става		the year before, the previous year
	last night	става		the night before
	yesterday	става		the day before
	Пряка реч в английскня език се загражда в кавички (Inverted Commas), които се поставят горе, обърнати навътре (' ', ам. " "). Пред пряката реч се поставя запетая (Comma) или по-рядко двоеточие (Colon). He said, 'I haven't seen him this week.' Пред непряката реч (допълнително подчинено изречение) в английския език не се носгавя запетая.
