直接引语变间接引语陈述句的变化规则
直接引语如果是陈述句,变为间接引语时,用连词that(可省略)引导,从句中的人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语都要发生相应的变化。
人称的变化——人称的变化主要是要理解句子的意思
例:1. He said, “ I like it very much.”
→ He said that he liked it very much.
他说他非常喜欢。
He said to me, “Ihave left my book in your room.”
→ He told me that he had left his book in my room.
他告诉我他把书忘在我房间里了。

→Anne said that she didn’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary.

The boy said, “I’m using a knife.”
→ The boy said that he was using a knife.

▲注意:如果直接引语是客观真理,变为间接引语时,时态不变,如:
He said, “Light travels much faster than sound.”
→ He said that light travels much faster than sound.
他说光的传播速度比声音快得多。
