Kural
Kendi cümlenle aktarmak
Reported speech (dolaylı anlatım), birinin söylediğini tırnak işareti kullanmadan, kendi cümlenle aktarmaktır.
Backshift
Türkçede “Madrid'de yaşadığını söyledi” derken zamanı ayarlamayız; İngilizcede ise aktarma fiili geçmiş zamandaysa (said, told, asked) aktarılan cümlenin zamanı bir adım geriye kayar. Buna backshift denir. Present simple past simple olur: “I live in Madrid” → He said that he lived in Madrid. Present continuous past continuous olur: “I am working” → She said that she was working. Past simple ve present perfect past perfect olur: “I bought a car” → He said that he had bought a car. Will would'a, can could'a döner: “I will call you” → He said that he would call me.
Zamirler, zaman ve yer
Zamirler ve zaman, yer bildiren kelimeler de aktaran kişinin bakış açısına göre değişir: now → then, today → that day, yesterday → the day before, tomorrow → the next day ya da the following day, here → there, this → that.
Say ile tell
Say ile tell farklı kalıplar ister: say'den sonra kişi gelmez (She said that she was tired), tell ise kişi olmadan kullanılmaz (She told me that she was tired).
Soru aktarmak
Soru aktarırken soru sırası bozulur ve normal cümle sırasına dönülür; do, does ve did düşer. Soru kelimesi korunur (She asked where I lived); evet-hayır sorularında if ya da whether eklenir (She asked if I was ready).

How to read this B1 topic
At B1, grammar links ideas: condition, result, reported meaning, experience, and narrative order.
1. Name the relationship
Ask whether the sentence gives a condition, contrast, cause, report, or result.
If it rains, we will stay home.
2. Separate time from aspect
Finished event, visible result, duration, and background action use different forms.
I had left before she arrived.
3. Test both clauses
In complex sentences, the second half often proves the first half.
I wish I knew.
Decision path before answering
Use these checks before choosing between close options.
- 1Mark the subject, main verb, object, and any connector.
- 2Underline the time expression or discourse clue.
- 3Reject any option with the wrong agreement, tense, article, pronoun case, or word order.
- 4Read the whole sentence once more for naturalness and register.
Contrasts that often decide the answer
Event or background
Simple forms move events forward; continuous forms show an action in progress.
I left while she was talking.
Fact or stance
Modals, hedges, and reporting structures show how certain or responsible the speaker sounds.
This may indicate a problem.
Clause or compressed phrase
Advanced writing often compresses full clauses into participle, noun, or prepositional phrases.
Having reviewed the data, we revised the plan.

İstisnalar
Her zaman doğru olan bilgiler ve hâlâ geçerli olan durumlar aktarılırken zaman kaydırmak zorunlu değildir: The teacher said that water boils at 100 degrees. Aktarma fiili present'taysa (says, tells) zaman hiç kaymaz: She says she is busy. Günlük konuşmada said ve told'dan sonra gelen that çoğu zaman düşer: He told me he was tired.
Sık yapılan hatalar
