直接引語:“I never do anything on Sundays,” he said.他說:“我星期日什么事都不做。”
間接引語:He said that he never did anything on Sundays.
2)—般疑問句變化:常用whether/if連接
直接引語:My mother said to me,“Are you hungry?” 母親對我說:“你俄嗎?”
間接引語:My mother asked me whether I was hungry.
3)特殊疑問句變化:常用疑問代詞或疑問副詞連接
直接引語:The teacher asked,”Who will give this boy a help?”老師問道:“誰愿意幫助這個男孩?”
