PETICIONES
Para expresarlas en estilo indirecto:
- Ponemos los verbos ask, demand, beg, request, etc, delante de la persona a quien pedimos algo, y la petición en infinitivo con to.
- Si aparece la palabra please, esta se omite.
"John, don't open the windows, please", I said
I asked / requested / begged Jonh not to open the window
- Si en la petición aparece el verbo let, lo ponemos en infinitivo con to y omitimos el modal que le precede.
"Can you let me use your phone, please?" I asked my neighbour
I asked my neighbour to let me use her phone
- Si no aparece let, mantenemos el modal.
I asked my neighbour if I could use her phone
