Consejo
She said, \'I like ice-cream\'
=
Ella dijo, \' Me gusta el helado\'
Cuando decimos exactamente lo que otra persona ha dicho, utilizamos el estilo directo. Lo que la persona dice se coloca entre comillas (”...\') y será, palabra por palabra, lo que dijo la otra persona.
Por ejemplo: She said, 'I like ice-cream’. - Ella dijo, ‘Me gusta el helado’. o
'I like ice-cream', She said. 'Me gusta el helado’, ella dijo.
Por ejemplo: She said, 'I like ice-cream’. - Ella dijo, ‘Me gusta el helado’. o
'I like ice-cream', She said. 'Me gusta el helado’, ella dijo.
She said (that) she liked ice-cream
=
Ella dijo (que) le gustaba el helado
Sin embargo, el estilo indirecto, no utiliza comillas y no necesita ser palabra por palabra. En este caso, usamos la conjunción \'que\'.
Cuando usamos el estilo indirecto, el tiempo verbal suele cambiar ya que solemos hablar de un momento en el pasado, ya que la conversación original tuvo lugar en el pasado. Por eso, los verbos tienen que estar conjugados en el pasado también.
El orador es 'she' (3era persona), y repetimos lo que dijo, por lo que nos referimos a ella como ‘she'.

I said, 'I am the best student of the class'
=
Dije, 'Soy el mejor estudiante de toda la clase'
I said (that) I was the best student of the class
=
Dije que era el mejor estudiante de toda la clase.
En este caso, estas narrando algo que dijiste tú. En el estilo indirecto, el pronombre personal - ‘I’ ‘yo’ no cambia para hablar de algo que uno mismo ha dicho.
Consejo
She told Maria, \'you are pretty\'
=
Ella le dijo a Maria, ”eres guapa\'
Repetimos lo que se dijo ya que en la primera frase se emplea el estilo directo.
She told Maria that she was pretty
=
Ella le dijo a Maria que era guapa.
En este caso ‘you' cambia a ‘she’, ya que en el momento de la narración, ‘Maria' es la 3era persona (ella). En el estilo indirecto, Maria deja de ser la 2da persona (tú) porque no hablamos directamente con ella.
Consejo
Ivan said, \'I work in Latin America.\'
=
Ivan dijo, ”Trabajo en América Latina.\'
Estilo directo: Ivan said, \'I work in Latin America.”
Ivan said (that) he worked in Latin America
=
Ivan dijo (que) trabajaba en América Latina.
Estilo Indirecto: Aquí 'work' cambia a ‘worked’, porque estoy contando algo que me dijeron en el pasado. Cuando pasamos del estilo directo al estilo indirecto, el verbo de narración (ej: said, dijo) esta en el tiempo pasado, por eso, el tiempo del estilo indirecto cambia al pasado.
A veces el tiempo verbal no cambia, como cuando hablamos de hechos o de verdades universales. (Ej: The Sun is a star. El sol es una estrella).
A veces el tiempo verbal no cambia, como cuando hablamos de hechos o de verdades universales. (Ej: The Sun is a star. El sol es una estrella).
