知识点讲解

　　语法----直接引语变成间接引语

　　总结直接引语变成间接引语有四种情况：

　　l．直接引语是陈述句，变成间接引语时，要把陈述句变成由that引导的宾语从句。例如：

　　He said: “Die best seed-heads should be hung up to dry.”

　　→He said that the best seed-heads should be hung up to dry.

　　直接引语是陈述句，变成间接引语时要注意三点：

　　l）时态的一致；

　　2）对人称代词和物主代词的相应调整；

　　3）某些时间和地点状语的相应调整。

　　例如：

　　Alice said, “I’ve just got a letter from my father.”

　　→Alice said that she had just got a letter from her father.

　　Mr Black said, “I arrived yesterday.”

　　→Mr Black said that he had arrived the day before.

　　2．直接引语是一般疑问句，变成间接引语时要把一般疑问句变成由if/ whether（是否）引导的宾语从句，同时将语序改成陈述句语序。例如：

　　He asked her, “Do they agree to sow wheat close together?”

　　→He asked her if they agreed to sow wheat close together.

　　直接引语是一般疑问句，变成间接引语时，除了要用if/whether来引导宾语从句外，前述的三点注意事项同样适用于这种情况。例如：

　　Alice asked Mike, “Have you finished doing your homework?”

　　→Alice asked Mike if/whether he had finished doing his homework.

　　Mrs Turner asked me, “Do you know where Tom works?”

　　→Mrs Turner asked me if/whether I knew where Tom worked.

　　3．直接引语是特殊疑问句，变成间接引语时要把特殊疑问句变成由疑问词（when，where，how等）引导的宾语从句，还要把疑问句的语序改成陈述句的语序。此外，前述的三点注意事项同样适用于这种情况。例如：

　　Tire students asked the f
