Oʻzlashtirma gap (Reported Speech)

To'g'ri nutq (direct speech) birovning so'zini aynan keltiradi: "I am tired," she said. O'zlashtirma gap (reported speech) esa so'zning mazmunini ikkinchi shaxs nomidan aytadi: She said (that) she was tired. — U charchaganini aytdi.

Said va told

• said (+ to + shaxs): She said (that) she was busy. / She said to me that she was busy.
• told + shaxs: She told me (that) she was busy. (She told that ..., shaxs shart)

Say dan keyin shaxs to'g'ridan-to'g'ri kelmaydi, tell dan keyin esa doim keladi.
