宾语从句与间接引语

14 分钟

把别人的话转述出来,是 B1 的核心能力之一。


一、宾语从句的三条规则

规则一:用陈述语序(最重要)

不管原句是不是疑问句,从句里一律主语在前、动词在后

  • Do you know where he lives?(不是 where does he live)
  • Can you tell me what time it is?(不是 what time is it)
  • I don't know who she is.(不是 who is she)

这是中国学生最常犯的错。

规则二:连接词的选择

原句类型 用什么连接
陈述句 that(口语常省略)
一般疑问句(Yes/No) if / whether
特殊疑问句 原来的疑问词(what / where / when / why / how)
  • He said (that) he was tired.
  • I asked if/whether she liked it.
  • I don't know where he went.

规则三:时态呼应

主句是过去时,从句要往过去退一格

直接引语 间接引语
一般现在 → 一般过去
一般过去 → 过去完成
现在完成 → 过去完成
will → would
can → could
may → might
must → had to

He said, "I am tired." → He said he was tired.
She said, "I will come." → She said she would come.
He said, "I have finished." → He said he had finished.

唯一的例外:客观真理不退

The teacher said the earth goes round the sun.(不用 went)


二、间接引语还要改三样东西

① 人称

He said, "I like your book." → He said he liked my book.

② 时间词

直接 间接
now then
today that day
tomorrow the next day
yesterday the day before
last week the week before
next year the following year

③ 地点和指示词

直接 间接
here there
this that
these those
come go

三、转述不同句型

陈述句 → say / tell

"I'm busy," he said. → He said (that) he was busy.
注意:tell 后面必须跟人(tell me that...),say 后面不跟人(say to me)。

疑问句 → ask

"Are you ready?" → He asked if/whether I was ready.
"Where do you live?" → He asked where I lived.

祈使句 → tell / ask sb to do

"Close the door." → He told me to close the door.
"Please help me." → He asked me to help him.
"Don't be late." → He told me not to be late.

祈使句的转述最简单:直接用 tell/ask sb (not) to do,不用管时态。


四、PET 里怎么考

  • 阅读:文章里大量间接引语(The writer says that...)
  • 听力:转述别人的话
  • 写作:在故事里转述对话,比全用引号自然
  • 口语 Part 4:转述搭档的观点(He thinks that... but I believe...)——这是加分句型

练习:变成间接引语

  1. He said, "I am reading a book."
  2. She asked, "Do you like coffee?"
  3. "Where are you going?" my mother asked.
  4. The teacher said, "Don't talk in class."
  5. Tom said, "I will call you tomorrow."
