COM YES/NO QUESTIONS 
Ao transformar uma PERGUNTA DIRETA em REPORTED SPEECH na qual a resposta 
será “sim” ou “não”, retiramos o “do”, “does” ou “did” e utilizamos o “if” e novamente 
transformamos a pergunta em afirmativa, remetendo o verbo principal ao passado. 
Direct speech: Do you like chocolate? 
Reported speech: She asked me if I liked chocolate. 
MAIS EXEMPLOS 
Direct Question Reported Question 
“Do you love me?” He asked me if I loved him. 
“Have you ever been to Mexico?” She asked me if I had ever been to Mexico. 
“Are you living here?” She asked me if I was living here. 
IMPERATIVO 
Podemos chamar de “IMPERATIVO” uma ordem direta para uma segunda pessoa. 
Por exemplo: 
Direct speech: Sit down! 
Reported speech: She told me to sit down. 
Em primeiro lugar, por se tratar de uma ordem direta, devemos trocar o verbo “say” 
(passado said) pelo verbo “tell” (passado told).

“Go to bed!” He told the child to go to bed. 
“Don't worry!” He told her not to worry. 
“Be on time!” He told me to be on time. 
“Don't smoke!” He told us not to smoke. 
Na afirmativa trocamos o VERBO por “to + o próprio verbo usado na DIRECT ORDER”. 
Na negativa trocamos o DON’T + VERBO por “not to + o próprio verbo usado na DIRECT 
ORDER”.

Comentário: 
Vemos na questão o uso do discurso indireto no imperativo, na forma 
negativa (Don’t). Ao transformar de discurso direto para o indireto, mudamos o 
don’t para not to e o verbo principal do discurso direto, Don’t leave para not to 
leave. 
2. Na frase “She said she had been driving home from work the night before, and she 
found herself behind a man in a convertible” (linhas 3 e 4), a formação correta quanto 
ao uso do discurso direto é:

convertible”.

transformar em discurso indireto, acrescentamos o sujeito “she”, usamos o 
reported veb “told” e transformamos o verbo eat up em to eat up.
