¿Cuál es un error frecuente con estilo indirecto en pasado?

• She said she was tired

• He told me that he had forgotten

• I told them I will come

• She said they had been late

Answer explanation

El error en 'I told them I will come' es que el tiempo verbal no concuerda. Debería ser 'I told them I would come' para mantener el estilo indirecto en pasado. Las otras opciones son correctas.

Traduce: “Nos dijeron que ya habían tomado una decisión.”

• They said they take a decision

• They told us they had made a decision

La traducción correcta es "They told us they had made a decision" porque refleja el tiempo pasado y la estructura gramatical adecuada en inglés, a diferencia de las otras opciones que son incorrectas.

Completá: “My boss said I ______ be promoted soon.” (discurso indirecto con will)

• will

• must

• should

In indirect speech, 'will' changes to 'would'. Therefore, the correct completion is 'My boss said I would be promoted soon.' This reflects the future intention expressed in the original statement.
