Tekstualno objašnjenje za Glagole say i tell u neupravnom govoru
Uvodni glagoli: say i tell
Glagole say i tell koristimo u uvodnoj konstrukciji kada želimo prepričamo izjave iz upravnog govora.
Mnogo češće upotrebljavamo glagol say u odnosu na glagol tell. Takođe, sa glagolom say ne pominjemo uvek osobu kojoj se govori, ali ako to navodimo, potrebno je da se iskoristi predlog to:
- ”I will give you a book tomorrow,” she said.
- ”I will give you a book tomorrow,” she said to me in a low voice.
Kada upotrebljavamo glagol tell, obavezno navodimo osobu kojoj se govori/obraća, i u tim slučajevima se koristi indirektni objekat.
- ”Try to stay calm,” he told them.
