1.直接引语是陈述句时

2. 直接引语是疑问句时
间接引语为陈述语序:主句的谓语动词say 改为ask,或改为wonder, do not know, want to know, be not sure, be puzzled等。
(1)一般疑问句或反义疑问句, 变为if (whether)引导的宾语从句。

4.过去进行时

→He says he’s one of the top students in his school.

Conclusion
直接引语改间接引语“过四关”
去掉引号后,事实上是一个含宾语从句的主从复合句(祈使句除外)。
主语+谓语+引导词(that/ whether, if/ wh-) +作宾语的句子
1.引导词:判断句子类别, 选择引导词:that/ whether,if /特殊疑问词
2.语序:陈述语序;注意人称变化--I主Ⅱ宾Ⅲ不变
3.时态:主句(过去时)+从句(相应的过去时)
主句(现在/将来时)+从句(不变)
注意:无雷变化的特殊情况(真理、虚拟、部分情态动词、过去进行)
4.细节:指示代词、地点副词、少数动词和时间状语
