Grammar: Some, Any & the -thing / -one family

Um ponto só: some para afirmar e oferecer, any para negar e perguntar. E a família something / anything / someone / anyone segue a mesma lógica.

Present Simple → Past Simple: "I work" → She said she worked.

Present Continuous → Past Continuous: "I am leaving" → He said he was leaving.

Past Simple → Past Perfect: "I saw it" → She said she had seen it.

Present Perfect → Past Perfect: "I have finished" → He said he had finished.

will → would, can → could, must → had to: "I will call" → She said she would call.

🔁 Regra de ouro: com um verbo de relato no passado (said, told), o verbo reportado normalmente recua um tempo para trás.

Yes/No questions → if/whether: "Are you ready?" → She asked if I was ready.

Wh-questions → question word + ORDEM NORMAL: "Where do you live?" → He asked where I lived.

Sem ponto de interrogação: a pergunta indireta é uma afirmação — não termina com "?".

⚠️ Erro comum: "He asked where did I live" ❌ → "He asked where I lived" ✅ (nada de "do/does/did" e use a ordem sujeito + verbo).

Neutros: say, tell, mention → relatam sem julgamento.

Positivos: promise, confirm, suggest → tom favorável ou de apoio.

Negativos: warn, complain, deny → tom de aviso ou queixa.

+ gerund: suggest, admit + ing → "She suggested taking a break."

+ infinitive: offer, promise, refuse + to → "He offered to help."

📐 Dica: o verbo de relato escolhido revela o tom da fala. Cada verbo pede uma estrutura específica (+ing ou +to).
