Today we are going to learn more about the Spanish \u201cEstilo Indirecto\u201d \u2013 Indirect or Reported Speech. This is the second part in a series of two Spanish video lessons on the topic. If you haven\u2019t already seen the first video lesson I highly recommend that you go back and watch that lesson before watching this second part.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned in the previous lesson, Indirect or Reported Speech is a way of reporting a statement or question. In Spanish and English there are two different ways of expressing the words of another person: Direct and Indirect Speech. Indirect or Reported Speech is different to Direct Speech because it does not phrase the statement or question in the same way as the original speaker; instead, certain grammatical categories are changed depending on the tense (present, past, future, etc). Direct speech is very simple as the exact words of the original speaker are reported in quotation marks.<\/p>\n<p>In the previous lesson we looked at various combinations of Indirect or Reported Speech sentence structures and we will continue in this video lesson with more examples, specifically looking at telling someone what another person said in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Original time (futuro imperfecto): Dijo que + Condicional simple:<br \/>\n\u2022 (Silvia dijo) \u201cIr\u00e9 a Barcelona\u201d: (Silvia said) \u201cI will go to Barcelona\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Silvia dijo que ir\u00eda a Barcelona: Silvia said that she would go to Barcelona<\/p>\n<p>Original time (condicional simple): Dijo que + condicional simple:<br \/>\n\u2022 (Silvia dijo) \u201cMe gustar\u00eda vivir en Per\u00fa\u201d: (Silvia said) \u201cI would like to live in Peru\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Silvia dijo que le gustar\u00eda vivir en Per\u00fa: Silvia said that she would like to live in Peru<\/p>\n<p>Original time (futuro perfecto): Dijo que + Condicional compuesto:<br \/>\n\u2022 (Silvia dijo) \u201cPara finales de a\u00f1o habr\u00e9 terminado mis studios\u201d: (Silvia said) \u201cBy the end of the year I will have finished my studies\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Silvia dijo que para finales de a\u00f1o habr\u00eda terminado sus estudios: Silvia said that by the end of the year she would have finished her studies<\/p>\n<p>Original time (presente de subjuntivo) : Dijo que + pret. imperfecto de subjuntivo:<br \/>\n\u2022 (Silvia dijo) \u201cCuando vaya a Barcelona os voy a enviar una postal\u201d: (Silvia said) \u201cWhen I go to Barcelona I am going to send you a postcard\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Silvia dijo que cuando fuera a Barcelona nos iba a enviar una postal: Silvia said that when she went to Barcelona she was going to send us a postcard<\/p>\n<p>Original time (pret. imperfecto de subjuntivo): Dijo que + pret. imperfecto subj \/Prt.pluscuamperfecto subj:<br \/>\n\u2022 (Silvia dijo) \u201cSi viviera en Sevilla ser\u00eda m\u00e1s feliz: (Silvia said) \u201cIf I lived in Seville I would be happier\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Silvia dijo que si viviera en Sevilla ser\u00eda m\u00e1s feliz: Silvia said that if she lived in Seville she would be happier<br \/>\n\u2022 (Silvia dijo) \u201cSi tuviera tiempo estudiar\u00eda m\u00e1s\u201d: (Silvia said) \u201cIf I had time I would study more\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Silvia dijo que si hubiera tenido tiempo, habr\u00eda estudiado m\u00e1s: Silvia said that if she had had more time she would have studied more<\/p>\n<p>Original time (pret. perfecto de subjuntivo): Dijo que + pret. pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo:<br \/>\n\u2022 (Silvia dijo) \u201cCuando haya limpiado toda la casa, me tomar\u00e9 un caf\u00e9\u201d: (Silvia said) \u201cWhen I have cleaned all the house I will have a coffee\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Silvia dijo que cuando hubiera limpiado toda la casa, se tomar\u00eda un caf\u00e9: Silvia said that when she had cleaned all the house she would have a coffee<\/p>\n<p>Original time (imperativo): Dice que + presente de subjuntivo:<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cCu\u00eddate.\u201d Dice que me cuide: \u201cTake care of yourself.\u201d He\/She tells me to take care of myself<\/p>\n<p>Original time (imperativo): Dijo que + pret. imperfecto de subjuntivo:<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cCu\u00eddate.\u201d Dijo que me cuidara: \u201cTake care of yourself\u201d. He\/She told me to take care of myself<\/p>\n<p>Also we have to be aware that when we use Reported Speech we have to change other words in the sentence such as: Yo-\u00e9l\/ella, nosotros-ellos\/ellas, mi libro \u2013 su libro; este libro \u2013 ese libro, hoy \u2013 ese d\u00eda, anteayer \u2013 dos d\u00edas antes, ahora \u2013 en ese momento\/entonces, anoche \u2013 la noche anterior, etc:<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cNosotros vamos a la playa.\u201d Dijeron que ellos iban a la playa: \u201cWe are going to the beach\u201d. They said that they were going to the beach<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cMe gusta este perro.\u201d Dijo que le gustaba ese perro: \u201cI like this dog\u201d. He\/She said that he\/she liked that dog<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cAnoche vi una pel\u00edcula.\u201d Dijo que la noche anterior vio una pel\u00edcula: \u201cYesterday I saw a movie\u201d. He\/She said that he saw a movie the night before<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of different combinations of possible Indirect or Reported Speech sentences as you can see so don\u2019t get too flustered trying to remember them all right away. Give yourself time and learn them little by little through regular, daily practice.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that you are all practicing your writing, reading, listening and speaking skills. It is vitally important at this level to be building up your Spanish skills in all four language areas. The internet is a great resource and I strongly recommend that you start regularly reading, listening to and watching Spanish material on the web. You might also want to find a native Spanish speaking language friend or a native online Spanish teacher to put into practice everything you have studied with some real conversation practice.<\/p>\n<p>The key always is to study little and often and to find material that genuinely interests you. Find some Spanish TV shows that you truly want to watch and some Spanish websites that really interest you. Studying a foreign language at this level should be great fun and an integral part of your day to day life as you can push yourself to read and watch everything you normally would want to in Spanish and progress with your studies without even realising it.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great week and see you next time for a new Spanish video lesson.<\/p>\n<p>Hasta luego<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hola \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1is?
