Direct Speech & Indirect Speech(I)
Statements and questions
引述别人的话有两种方式：直接引述别人的原话叫直接引语，用自己的话转述别人的话叫间接引语。这两种引语都是宾语从句，但是直接引语放在引号内，不用连词联接；间接引语不用引号，通常用连接词与主句联接。
一、直接引语变间接引语时句式的变化
1.陈述句变为以 that 引导的宾语从句。例如：
He said, “I'm very glad.”
→He said that he was very glad.
2.一般疑问句变为if(whether)引导的宾语从句。例如：
He said, “Can you come this afternoon, John?”
→He asked whether (if) John could come that afternoon.
3. 特殊疑问句变为由who, what, when等疑问词引导的宾语从句。例如：
He said, “Where i s Mr. Wang?”
