[巧学助记] 一般疑问句变间接引语"口诀":
if/whether接引语,陈述语序莫忘记;
人称、时态和状语,变化需用陈述句。
[即时演练2]
(1)句型转换(每空一词)
①She said, "Do you like watching the advertisements on TV?"
→She asked me if/whether I liked watching the advertisements on TV.
②She said, "You have seen the film, haven't you?"
→She wondered if/whether I had seen the film.
(2)"Have you seen the film?" he asked me.
→He asked me________.
A.had I seen the film
B.have I seen the film
C.if I have seen the film
D.whether I had seen the film
解析:选D 直接引语变间接引语时,一般疑问句要变为由whether或if引导的宾语从句,因主句是一般过去时,从句需用过去的某种时态,故只有D项正确。
3.引述特殊疑问句时,用原句中的疑问词作为间接引语的连接词,主句的谓语动词用ask(sb.),语序用陈述句语序。
"Where did you find the ads for jobs abroad?" Bill asked.
→Bill asked where I had found the ads for jobs abroad.
比尔问我是在哪儿找到有关到国外工作的广告的。
"What are you doing now?" Mom asked.
→Mom asked what I was doing then.
