1、直接引语和间接引语（一）直接引述别人的原话，叫做直接引语；用自己话转述别人的话，叫做间接引语。间接引语一般构成宾语从句。直接引语必须放在引号内，间接引语则不用引号。直接引语改为间接引语时，除将引语部分变成宾语从句外，还必须对直接引语中的人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等进行改变。 1. 时态的变化：直接引语变为间接引语时，通常受转述动词said，asked等的影响而使用过去化的时态，即把原来的时态向过去推，也就是一般现在时变 一般过去时，现在进行时变为过去进行时等。 例如： Tom said to me,―My brother is doing hi

4、hing then. 她对我说那时我无法做任何事。 2. 疑问句的间接引语 直接引语如果是疑问句，变成间接引语后，叫做间接疑问句。间接疑问句为陈述语序，句末用句号，动词时态等的变化与间接陈述句相同。引述动词常用ask, wonder, want to know等间接疑问句一般有三种： (1)．一般疑问句由直接引语变为间接引语时， 由whether或if 引导。 如： ―Has he ever worked in Shanghai?‖Jim asked. ―他在上海工作过吗？‖吉姆问。 →Jim asked whether/if he had ever w
