疑问句、祈使句的间接引语
1. 疑问句的间接引语
疑问句边为间接引语,除应注意动词时体形式,人称代词、指示代词、限定词、时间状语、地点状语的变化外,还要注意词序的变化,也就是说,要把疑问句的词序变为陈述句的语序。一般疑问句和附加疑问句等的间接引语通常以whether/if 引导,但在引述选择疑问句时,通常只用whether引导。特殊疑问句转换的间接引语通常以原来的特殊疑问词作引导词。如:
“Does she work downtown?”----He asked whether/if she worked downtown.
“Did you come here by car or by train?”----He asked me whether I had gone there by car or by train.
“Where are you going?”----He asked where I was going.
2. 祈使句的间接引语
绝大多数的祈使都是采用“说话动词+宾语+不定式”结构变为间接引语。如:
“Please don’t disturb me.”-----He asked me not to disturb him.
“Stop speaking.”-----He told us to stop speaking.
