Step 3. Learning about language
Grammar Study
当我们引用别人的话时。如果我们引用别人的原话,那么被引用的部分就叫直接引语,一般用“ ”引起来。如果我们用自己把意思转述出来,那么这样的话称为间接引语。间接引语在多数情况下都构成一个宾语从句。由直接引语转化成间接引语可以分成下面几种情况:
1、如果直接引语是一个陈述句,在变成间接引语时一是要用连词把主句和从句连接起来,that可省略。二是根据意思改变人称,三是直接引语的动词的时态要作相应的变动。四是根据意思将指示代词、地点及时间状语等作必要的变动。
⑴Lin Tao said, “I am ready.”
Lin Tao said (that) he was ready.
⑵He said (to me), “I have left my book at home”
He told me that he had left his book at home.
⑶She said, “I will come here again tonight.”
She said (that) she would come there again that night.
2、在引用一个疑问句时,要用连词whether或if连接起来,不能省略。此外还要把人称、时态,时间和地点状语作相应的变化,从句一定要用陈述语序。
He asked, “Can you come here tomorrow.”
He asked (me) if I could go there the next day.
He asked, “ are you a teacher?”
He asked me whether / if I was a teacher.
3、如果直接引语是特殊疑问句,那么特殊疑问句作连词,连词不能省略,然后人称、时态、时间状语等仍需适当的变化,引语的语序为陈述语序。
⑴.He asked, “How are you getting along with your studies.”
He said me how I was getting along with my studies.
⑵.She asked, “Where will you have lunch ,Tom.”
She asked Tom where he would have lunch.
(3) She said, “ what are you doing?”
She asked me what I was doing.
时间改变可以用下表表示:
直接引语
间接引语
一般现在时
一般过去时
现在进行时
过去进行时
一般将来时
过去将来时
一般过去时
过去完成时
现在完成时
过去完成时
过去完成时
过去完成时
现在完成进行时
过去完成进行时
注意:如果直接引语表达的是客观事实,或当时直接转述,时态不用变。如:
The teacher told us that the earth turns around the sun.
4、一些常用词改变规律表:
在直接引语中
在间接引语中
指示代词
This
That
These
Those
表时间的词
Now
Then
Today
that day
This week(month ,etc)
that week(month)
Yesterday
the day before
Last week(month)
The week (month etc) before
Three days (a year, etc) ago
three days (a year etc) before
Tomorrow
the next (following)day
Next week(month)
the next (following)week
地点
Here
There
动词
Come
Go
5、如果直接引语是祈使句,将say变为ask或tell等,直接在动词前加“to” 。否定式加not to,这个请求或命令由一个复合宾语表示出来。
He said, “Come in, please.”
He asked me to come in.
He said, “Don’t do that again ,Peter.”
He told Peter not to do that again.
