FATEC 2016/2
Imagine que você é o personagem do lado esquerdo no último quadrinho da tirinha, e você está reportando ao seu chefe o que o seu colega dissera.
A alternativa que faz uso do Reported Speech corretamente para comunicar a fala do colega é
He said that I don´t have time to stand here and argue with you all day!
He told that I don´t have time to stand here and argue with me all day!
He said he didn’t have time to stand there and argue with me all day.
He told he didn’t have time to stand there and argue with him all day.
I don´t have time to stand here and argue with you all day!
Resolução
Para reportar a fala, considere:
- Verbo de relato: "said" ou "told" (atente se exige objeto);
- Backshifting: o presente passa para o passado ("don't have" → "didn't have");
- Ajuste de pronomes ("I" → "he", "you" → "me");
- Adaptação de advérbios de lugar ("here" → "there").
No enunciado original: "I don't have time to stand here and argue with you all day!"
- "I don't have" → "he didn't have"
- "to stand here" → "to stand there"
- "argue with you" → "argue with me"
Assim, a forma correta é: He said he didn't have time to stand there and argue with me all day.
