A

No Discurso Indireto Livre, o narrador utiliza a primeira pessoa ("Eu") para falar pelo personagem, criando uma confusão intencional sobre quem está narrando a história.


B

No Discurso Indireto Livre, as palavras ou pensamentos do personagem são integrados à narrativa sem o uso de verbos de elocução (como "said" ou "thought") ou conjunções subordinativas (como "that"), mantendo os tempos verbais e pronomes da narrativa (terceira pessoa/passado), mas preservando a dêixis (agora, aqui) e a entonação interrogativa/exclamativa do personagem.


C

O Discurso Indireto Livre exige o uso obrigatório de aspas para demarcar a fala do personagem, diferenciando-se do discurso direto apenas pela mudança dos tempos verbais para o futuro.


D

Trata-se de uma técnica onde o narrador resume as falas de todos os personagens em um único parágrafo, eliminando qualquer traço da subjetividade ou do estilo individual de cada falante.


E
