Today´s lesson for 2º BACHILLERATO, UNIT 6

Cuando cambiamos oraciones compuestas a estilo indirecto (REPORTED SPEECH OR INDIRECT SPEECH) debemos cambiar todos los verbos conjugados, además de recordar cambiar pronombres, posesivos y referencias temporales.

Todo lo que hemos aprendido de activa/ pasiva, oraciones subordinadas adverbiales, subordinadas relativas, verbos modales simples, pasiva, causativo, phrasal verbs, etc sufrirá la CONSECUTIO TEMPORUM o  cambio al pasado,BACK-SHIFT en inglés, es decir, los verbos conjugados darán un salto al pasado.
