Introducción

- Cuando queremos repetir las palabras textuales que otra persona ha dicho, utilizamos el estilo directo (DIRECT SPEECH) She said, "I'm visiting my grandma today" - El estilo indirecto (INDIRECT or REPORTED SPEECH) no reproduce exactamente las mismas palabras del emisor: She said she was visiting her grandma that day.
