1、引述或转述别人的话称为“引语”。直接引用别人的原话，两边用引号“ ”标出，叫做直接引语；用自己的语言转述别人的话，不需要引号这叫做间接引语，实际上间接引语大都是宾语从句，其中由祈使句转换的间接引语除外，其转换后是不定式。那么直接引语为陈述句、一般疑问句、特殊疑问句和祈使句，转换为间接引语时，句子的结构，人称、时态、时间状语和地点状语等都要有变化，如何变化呢? (一)人称的转变1. 直接引语中的第一人称，一般转换为第三人称，如： He said，“I am very sorry. ” He said that he was very sorry. 2.
2、直接引语中的第二人称，如果原话是针对转述人说的，转换为第一人称，如： “You should be more careful next time, ”my father told me. My father told me that I should be more careful the next time. 3. 直接引语中的第二人称，如果原话是针对第三人称说的，转换成第三人称。如： She said to her son, “I'll check your homework tonight. ” She said to her son that s
3、he would check his homework that night. 4. 人称的转换包括人称代词、物主代词和名词性物主代词等，如： He asked me, “Will you go to the station with me to meet a friend of mine this afternoon?” He asked me whether I would go to the station with him to meet a friend of his that afternoon. 总之，人称的转换不是固定的，具体情况，
4、具体对待，要符合逻辑。 (二)时态的转换直接引语改为间接引语时，主句中的谓语动词如果是过去时，从句(即间接引语部分)的谓语动词在时态方面要作相应的变化，变成过去时范畴的各种时态(实际也是宾语从句的时态要求)，变化如下： 一般现在时 一般过去时 现在进行时 过去进行时 现在完成时 过去完成时 一般将来时 过去将来时 一般过去时 过去完成时 过去完成时 不变 过去进行时 不变如： 1)“I am very glad to visit your school”, she said. She said she was very glad to v
