Indirect speech is an important aspect of Catalan grammar, as it allows speakers to report the words or thoughts of someone else without using their exact words. In Catalan, indirect speech generally requires the use of a reporting verb, such as “dir” (to say) or “pensar” (to think), followed by a subordinate clause introduced by “que” (that) or another conjunction. Verb forms within the subordinate clause may change depending on the context to reflect the original speaker’s perspective. Mastering indirect speech in Catalan can greatly enhance students’ ability to communicate and understand complex narratives or conversations.
