Indirect speech

On va utiliser le discours indirect pour rapporter les paroles de quelqu'un sans le citer directement. C'est un procédé très courant dans les media. Le discours rapporté est très souvent introduit par les verbes say, tell, ask, think... Quand on passe au discours indirect, il faut prendre garde à la concordance des temps.
