kittydesadeThe verbs говорить – to say, думать - to think, спрашивать - to ask, and отвечать – to answer allow you to speak about a third person in the interpreting exercises: She says that…, he thinks…, they are asking… etc. Below you see some lines that might come up in interpreting. Practice changing them from direct speech into indirect speech.
