Advanced Reported Speech — Discorso Indiretto B2·Multiple Speakers: News Interview Format
💡

Rule reminder

When reporting speech involving multiple speakers, each speaker's utterances must be reported with the correct pronoun perspective. In an interview: the interviewer's questions become reported questions ('chiese se', 'volle sapere', 'domandò'); the interviewee's answers become reported statements. Pronouns shift according to who is reporting.
