直接引语变间接引语及其注意事项引述别人的话时，一般采用两种方式：一是引用别人的原话，把它放在引号内，称为直接引语；二是用自己的话加以转述，被转述的话不放在引号内，称为间接引语。间接引语在大多数情况下是一个宾语从语。直接引语变成间接引语时，要注意以下几点：人称变化、时态变化、宾语从句要用陈述句语序。1.直接引语是陈述句，变成间接引语时，由连词that引导。例如：Shesaid,"Iamveryhappytohelpyou."→Shesaidthatshewasveryhappytohelpyou.2.直接引语是一般(选择/反意)疑问句，变成间接引语时，由连词whether或if引导。例如：Heaskedme,"Doyoulikeplayingfootball?"→Heaskedmeif/whetherIlikedplayingfootball.注意：大多数情况下，if和whether可以互换，但后有ornot,或在动词不定式前，或放在介词后作连接词时，一般只用whether。例如：Sheaskedmewhetherhecoulddoitornot.Hehesitatedaboutwhethertodriveortakethetrain.3.直接引语是特殊疑问句，变成间接引语时，由相应的疑问词who,whom,whose,how,when,why,where等引导。例如：Mysisteraskedme,"Howdoyoulikethefilm?"→MysisteraskedmehowIlikedthefilm.4.一些注意事项(1)直接引语是客观事实、普遍真理等，变成间接引语时，时态不变。例如：Theytoldtheirson,"Theearthgoesroundthesun."→Theytoldtheirsonthattheearthgoesroundthesun.(2)直接引语变间接引语时，指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等要作相应的变化。如：this/that→these/those,now→then,today→thatday,yesterday→thedaybefore,lastyear→theyearbefore,ago→before,here→there等。例如：Hesaid,"Ihaven'tseenhertoday."→Hesaidthathehadn'tseenherthatday.注意：如果转述时就在原来的地方，就在说话的当天，就不必改变指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等。(3)间接引语一般要用陈述句的语序，即主、谓、宾的顺序。例如：HeaskedLucy,"Wheredidyougo?"→HeaskedLucywhereshewent.Tomsaid,"Whatdoyouwant,Ann?"→TomaskedAnnwhatshewanted.
