什么是直接引语和间接引语?
直接引语用引号引用某人说的原话: She said, “I am studying for my exam.”
间接引语(也叫转述句)报告某人说的话,不用引号: She said that she was studying for her exam.
SPM英文在Paper 1 Section A(语法题)中考这个话题,在叙事作文中报告对话时也很有用。
基本转换规则
从直接引语转为间接引语时,三样东西会变:
1. 时态后退一步
| 直接引语 | 间接引语 |
|---|---|
| 一般现在时 → | 一般过去时 |
| 现在进行时 → | 过去进行时 |
| 一般过去时 → | 过去完成时 |
| 现在完成时 → | 过去完成时 |
| will → | would |
| can → | could |
| may → | might |
| must → | had to |
例子:
- 直接:He said, “I am happy.” → 间接:He said that he was happy.
- 直接:She said, “I will come.” → 间接:She said that she would come.
- 直接:They said, “We have finished.” → 间接:They said that they had finished.
2. 代词变化
- I → he/she
- we → they
- my → his/her
- our → their
- me → him/her
3. 时间和地点表达变化
| 直接引语 | 间接引语 |
|---|---|
| today(今天) | that day(那天) |
| tomorrow(明天) | the next day(第二天) |
| yesterday(昨天) | the day before(前一天) |
| now(现在) | then(当时) |
| here(这里) | there(那里) |
| this(这个) | that(那个) |
转述不同类型的句子
转述陈述句
- 直接:He said, “The exam is difficult.”
- 间接:He said (that) the exam was difficult.
注意: “said”不需要宾语,“told”必须有宾语:
- He said the exam was difficult. ✓
- He told me the exam was difficult. ✓
- He told the exam was difficult. ✗
转述疑问句
是非问句 — 用”if”或”whether”:
- 直接:She asked, “Are you coming?”
- 间接:She asked if I was coming.
特殊疑问句 — 用疑问词,但改为陈述语序:
- 直接:He asked, “Where do you live?”
- 间接:He asked where I lived.
重要: 间接引语中的疑问句不用问号或疑问语序:
- 错误: He asked where did I live?
- 正确: He asked where I lived.
转述命令和请求
用”told/asked + 某人 + to + 动词原形”:
- 直接:“Open your books.”
- 间接:The teacher told us to open our books.
否定命令:
- 直接:“Don’t be late.”
- 间接:She told me not to be late.
例外:时态不变的情况
- 转述动词用现在时: She says that she is tired.
- 一般真理: The teacher said the Earth revolves around the Sun.
- 情况仍然成立: She said she works at a bank.(如果她还在那里工作)
常见的SPM错误
间接疑问句保留直接引语语序
错误: She asked where was the library. 正确: She asked where the library was.
在疑问句中用”that”
错误: He asked that whether I was free. 正确: He asked whether I was free.
忘记改变时间表达
错误: He said he would come tomorrow. 正确: He said he would come the next day.
”say”后面加宾语
错误: She said me to sit down. 正确: She told me to sit down.
练习
转为间接引语:

- “Where did you buy this book?” he asked me.
- “Please submit your assignment by Friday,” the teacher said.
答案:
- She said that she had never been to Penang.
- He asked me where I had bought that book.
- The teacher asked us to submit our assignment by Friday.
