　　对于直接引语和间接引语的掌握，我们可以遵循这样一个原则：一个概念，两种形式，三种句型，四种变化。

　　一个概念：直接引述别人的原话，叫做直接引语；用自己的话转述别人的话，叫做间接引语。

　　两种形式：直接引语前后要加引号；间接引语不用加引号。

　　三种句型：陈述句、疑问句和祈使句。

　　四种变化：人称、时态、语序和状语。

　　一、陈述句

　　直接引语是陈述句，变成间接引语时，由连词that引导，that在口语中可以省略。

　　The man said，"I am very poor."

　　→The man said (that) he was very poor.

　　二、疑问句

　　1.直接引语是一般疑问句，变成间接引语时，由连词whether或if引导。

He asked me，"Are you interested in WeChat？"
