🔍 20 Pegadinhas EPCAR — REPORTED SPEECH — 🏛️ B3GE™

A EPCAR tem um estilo MUITO característico:

1) Ela ama confundir mudanças temporais

Sobretudo:

  • yesterday → the day before

  • now → then

  • today → that day

  • next week → the following week

Eles adoram jogar time expressions venenosas.


2) Ama erros de inversão em perguntas

“Where did he go?”
EPCAR sabe que muita gente mantém a inversão indevidamente no discurso indireto.


3) Ama misturar imperativos e ordens

Eles colocam:

  • told / ordered / asked / warned
    e esperam to + verb ou not to + verb.


4) Ama modal verbs que mudam e os que NÃO mudam

Modal que muda → will, can, must (às vezes)
Modal que não muda → should, would, could, might

ELES COBRAM MUITO ISSO.


5) Ama confundir "this / here / now"

EPCAR coloca direto marcadores de lugar e tempo para forçar a contextualização do discurso.
