HeY ;! Everyone ✬ How old is your son? asked a 50 year old man to his neighbour.
Neighbour replied :- » My son is 5 times as old as my daughter and my wife is five times as old as my son. I am 2 times as old as my wife whereas my grandmother, who is celebrating her eighty-first birthday is as old as all of us put together».
How old is the neighbour’s son?
Need a suitable answer with logic.
\u272d A 50 year old man asked his neighbour how old is his son?
\u272d His neighbour said that his son was 5 times as old as his daughter
\u272d His wife was 5 times old as his son
\u272d He is twise as old as his wife
\u272d His grandmother’s age is 81 which is equal to the sum of the age of all others
To Find
\u25c8 Age of his neighbours son?
Soluti on
\u25d5 Daughter’s age = x
\u25d5 Son’s age be 5(x) = 5x
\u25d5 Wife’s age = 5(5x) = 25x
\u25d5 His age = 2(25x) = 50x
\u262f As P er the Question
The sum of the ages of all these 4 members add up to the age of their grandmother who is celebrating her 81st birthday
\u279d Daughter+Son+Wife+Him = Grandma
\u279d x+5x+25x+50x = 81
\u279d x = 1
So now substituting the value of x in the Equation for son’s age,
\u27b3 Son’s Age = 5x
\u27b3 Son’s Age = 5(1)
\u27b3 Son’s Age = 5 years
\u2234 Son of the neighbour is 5 years old
Similarly we can also find the age of,
\u00bb\u00bb Daughter = x = 1 year
\u00bb\u00bb Wife = 25x = 25(1) = 25 years
\u00bb\u00bb His Age = 50x = 50(1) = 5 0 years
Verifi cation
\u2abc Daughter+Son+Wife+Him = Grandma
\u27a0 1+25+50 = 81
GIVEN:
EXPLANATION:
Let the age of neighbour’s son be A, the age of daughter be B, the age of his wife be C, and his age be D.

ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ ПРИ УПОТРЕБЛЕНИИ КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ
Must меняется на had to
Shall на should
Для лучшего усвоения рассмотрим следующие примеры:
Слова, употребляемые в прямой речи, могут меняться при использовании косвенной следующим образом:
Ago – previously, before;
Yesterday – the day before;
Today – that day;
On/next Friday – the following Friday;
Last month – the previous month;
The day after tomorrow – in two days’ time;
This weekend – that weekend;
Tomorrow – the following day / the next day;
Tonight – that night;
Рассмотрим изменение слов на примере предложений
‘ I`ll drink milk tomorrow.’ – He said he`d drink milk the next day.
Безусловно, нельзя заменять слова подобным образом во всех предложениях. Подобная замена имеет место только там, где она уместна и подходит по смыслу.
Так, например, рассмотрим предложение: She said, ‘I like to live here.’ Предположим, что она говорит о Лондоне. В косвенной речи ее слова можно передать по-разному:
She said she liked to live there – она говорит, что ей нравится жить там. (Соответственно предполагается, что вы сами не проживаете в Лондоне)
She said she liked to live here – она говорит, что ей нравится жить здесь. (Получается, что и вы проживаете, или на данный момент находитесь в этом городе)
На одном простом примере становится понятно, что переводя прямую речь в косвенную, просто необходимо обращать внимание на внешние обстоятельства и уже затем делать выводы, уместным ли будет то или иное слово или фраза.
При образовании косвенной речи из прямой, такие глаголы как ought to (должны), would, might, could, should – не изменяются.
ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ С WH–ВОПРОСАМИ.
Следует сразу отметить чтоwh–вопросы, это те, которые начинаются со следующих слов: Why, Where, Who, When, What и другие, начинающиеся на буквы wh.
Следует отметить, что большое количество вопросов в косвенной речи, начинается после основного глагола, который употребляется в прошедшем времени (Past Tense). Что же касается самого вопроса, то время в нем изменяется согласно вышеуказанным правилам образования времен.
Порядок расстановки слов в вопросах, которые относятся к косвенной речи, меняется:
Неправильнобудеттак: She asked what was the time.
Неправильныйвариант: He asked me how was my mother.
Глагол «to ask» (спросить), применяется в косвенной речи как с объектом, так и без него:
He asked me how my mom was.
He asked how my mom was.
Приведем еще несколько примеров для закрепления этого материала:
IF И WHETHER ПРИ КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ
If и whether в косвенной речи употребляются только с общими вопросами (не с wh–вопросами), на которые могут быть только два ответа: нет или да.
При построении общих вопросов, используются все вышеуказанные правила, касающиеся согласования времен.
Whether, как и If, в английском языке обозначает частицу «ли».
Стоит отметить, что порядок слов в общих вопросах косвенной речи меняется, например:
ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ КОМАНД (ПРИКАЗОВ) В КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ
При приказе (команде ) в косвенной речи употребляется сначала основной глагол, затем объект и инфинитив:
Что же касается отрицательной формы, то порядок слов тот же, за исключением того что перед инфинитивом ставится частичка «not». Например:
Tell, warn, instruct, order, command– основные глаголы, которые чаще всего встречаются в приказах косвенной речи.
УПОТРЕБЛЕНИЕ ПРОСЬБЫ (ЗАПРОСА) В КОСВЕННОЙ РЕЧИ.
Предложения. в которых мы употребляем запрос, несут в себе обращение к человеку с просьбой о чем-либо.
Would и could – слова, с которых начинаются запросы в прямой речи.
To ask (просить, спрашивать) – основной глагол, с которого, как правило, начинается запрос в косвенной речи.
‘ Could you pour me water, please?’ – He asked me to pour him water.
Но! Следует обратить внимание на то, что ни в коем случае нельзя путать просьбу с приказом, иначе вас могут неправильно понять.
He told me to give him the book – онвелелмнеотдатьемукнигу;
He asked me to give him the book – онпопросилменядатьемукнигу.
Помимо того, что необходимо различать приказ от просьбы, еще необходимо различать предложение от просьбы.
Так, например, предложение будет звучать следующим образом:
Просьба же будет звучать чуть иначе:
Найдите одно предложение с косвенной речью, в котором нет ошибок. Исправьтеошибкивостальныхпредложениях.
1. Mike told the policeman that he lost his identity card.
2. Jane said to Dick that Julia doesn’t live next to her.

Чтобы понять, что такое косвенная речь в английской грамматике, нужно разобраться для начала с тем, что собой представляет прямая речь.
Прямая речь — это фраза какого-либо субъекта, она звучит непосредственно из первых уст и заключается письменно в кавычки
Прямая речь представляет собой отдельное предложение, поэтому после того как открываем кавычки, первое слово пишем с прописной буквы. В английском языке после слов, указывающих кто говорит, ставится запятая. В то время как в русском мы ставим двоеточие:
He said, «I will return your book tomorrow.»
Косвенная речь является способом передачи слов, сказанных другим человеком, при этом передающий преобразует чужие слова грамматически и по смыслу, чтобы было понятно, кому они принадлежат, сохраняя при этом общее содержание сказанного.
He said that he would return my book the next day. Секреты английской косвенной речи
Косвенная речь — преобразованная прямая
В повествовательных предложениях английского языка происходит ряд изменении при превращении прямой речи в косвенную:
Следующая таблица с наглядными примерами поможет понять правила, что перечислены выше.
Главные предложения — это именно те вводные слова, такие как «Люк сказал», «она утверждает», «родители ответили» и т. д. Они сохраняют свою временную форму:
Таблица с примерами опять же поможет вам уяснить данное правило
Постепенно мы подошли к важному моменту грамматики, который необходимо разобрать для понимания, как образуется косвенная речь в английском языке. Я имею виду правила согласования времен английского языка в косвенной речи. Следующая таблица передает принцип перехода времен (в верхней колонке — время, которое используется в прямой речи, в нижней колонке — время, которое нужно использовать в косвенной).
На примерах рассмотрим, как может измениться время при преобразовании речи.
Английская грамматика строго регламентирует употребление нужных в том или ином случае временных форм. Дело в том, что каждая из них имеет свои особенности, через которые очевидна информация о периоде совершения действия. При переводе на русский язык, эти тонкости не так ощутимы, ввиду того, что русская грамматика отлична от английской.
