Reported Speech with Infinitives
11/21Recursos
A veces tenemos la necesidad de repetir lo que otra persona ha dicho. Ya sea porque estamos de acuerdo con su idea, o debemos retransmitir su mensaje a otras personas.
Cómo usar el discurso indirecto con infinitivos
Repetir lo que otra persona ha dicho puede sernos muy útil en situaciones donde queremos transmitir una idea que no es nuestra. Para lograrlo, podemos utilizar la forma “Verb (past) + to Verb (infinitive)”.
- My mother asked me to bring her a soda.
- John agreed to do it if he got paid extra.
Veamos una serie de verbos en infinitivo que puedes usar para retransmitir mensajes:
| agree to | hope to |
|---|---|
| claim to | offer to |
| decide to | prefer to |
| demand to | promise to |
| threaten to | refuse to |
Ejemplos de discurso indirecto con infinitivos
Veamos algunos ejemplos retransmitiendo mensajes:
| Mensaje original | Retransmisión |
|---|---|
| Obama: -”I will improve healthcare.” | Obama promised to improve health care. |
| Marta: -”I hope we win the match.” | Marta hopes to win the match. |
| Salesman: -“I can give you a 5% discount.” | The salesman offered to lower the price 5%. |

The football player decided to play this season in the Rayo Vallecano :D
Le pregunté a ChatGPT por la duda del ejemplo de Marta:
The sentence "Marta: 'I hope we win the match'" is reported as "Marta hopes to win the match" because the reporting verb (hopes) remains in the present tense to match the present tense of the original verb (hope) in Marta's direct speech.
In reported speech, the tense of the reporting verb can change based on the context of the sentence and when the reporting occurs. If Marta's hope is still relevant or true at the time of reporting, it's common to keep the present tense:
* **Direct Speech:** Marta: "I hope we win the match."
* **Reported Speech:** Marta hopes to win the match. (if the hope is still current)
However, if the reporting happens after the time when Marta made the statement, and the focus is on reporting what she said at that past time, then you might use the past form of the verb:
* **Direct Speech:** Marta: "I hope we win the match."
* **Reported Speech:** Marta hoped to win the match. (focusing on the past statement)
In summary, using the present tense "hopes" reflects that Marta's hope is still current or relevant at the time of reporting, while using the past tense "hoped" would place the emphasis on when Marta originally made the statement.

Some explanation (spoiler alert)
One of the customers demanded to see the machines working and operational before completing the purchase.
Explanation: “Demanded” is the correct past tense of “demand.” The reported speech infinitive is “to see,” which is the correct form to report what the customer said.
Another preferred to pay in cash and decided to wait for a bigger discount.
Explanation: “Preferred” is the correct past tense of “prefer.” The reported speech infinitive is “to pay” and “to wait,” which are the correct forms to report what the customer said.
The final customer agreed to buy 5 of them, but refused to leave any contact information.
Explanation: “Agreed” is the correct past tense of “agree.” The reported speech infinitive is “to buy” and “to leave,” which are the correct forms to report what the customer said.
threatened to sue the company due to delays in his order.
Explanation: “Sue” is the correct verb to use in this context, as it means to take legal action against someone. The reported speech infinitive is not required in this sentence, as it is not reporting what someone else said.
