语法通关-直接引语与间接引语
引述某人的话一般采用两种形式:一是直接引语(Direct Speech),即原封不动地直接引用别人的原话,把原话放在引号内;二是间接引语(Indirect Speech),即用自己的话转述别人的话,一般不用引号。
☛John said,”I like reading books.” (Direct Speech)
☛John said that he liked reading books. (Indirect Speech)
直接引语变间接引语时,句式、人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语和动词要作相应的改变。
考点 1 直接引语变间接引语时句式的变化
1. 直接引语是陈述句,间接引语应改为由that引导的宾语从句(that可省略),同时人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语和动词要作相应的改变。引述动词如果是say to或said to,常改为tell或told
☛ She said to me, "I am very happy to be with you."
→She told me (that) she was very happy to be with me.
【特别提醒】
若直接引语是两个并列的陈述句,要注意第二个宾语从句前的that不可省略。
☛ He said,”I am tired and I want to have a rest.”
→He said (that) he was tired and that he wanted to have a rest
2. 直接引语如果是一般疑问句、选择疑问句或反义疑问句,间接引语应改为由whether或if引导的宾语从句。
☛ He asked me, "Do you like watching TV?"
→He asked me if/whether I liked watching TV.
☛He asked, "Are you sure your mother will come?"
→He asked me whether/if I was sure my mother would come.
注意:大多数情况下,if和whether 在引导宾语从句时可以互换,但后跟or not时,一般只用whethe
