二、直接引语和间接引语
直接引述别人的原话,叫作直接引语;用自己的话转述别人的话叫作间接引语。直接引语如改为间接引语,必须在语序、人称、时态和状语方面做相应变化。
1.直接引语是陈述句,变为间接引语时由连词that引导。
Mary said to her friends,"I don't like computers."
↓ ↓
→Mary said to her friends that she didn't like computers.
2.直接引语是一般疑问句,变为间接引语时变成if/whether引导的宾语从句。
3.直接引语是特殊疑问句,变为间接引语时特殊疑问句变为由who, when, where, why, how等疑问词引导的宾语从句(注意:从句中需是陈述语序)。
