如果我们要引用或转述他人所说的话时，通常不会直接引用他们的原话（直接引语），而是使用间接引语。
在以第三人称书写的书信中，若提到过去发生的的一段对话，我们需使用间接引语。
因此，我们要学习如何将直接引语转化成间接引语。转化陈述句，疑问句或祈使句时，间接引语的结构会有所不同。
间接陈述句：
在转述一句陈述句时，你需要检查一下几处的改变：
代词
时态（如果转述动词是过去式，通常在间接引语中依然使用过去式）
方位和时间名词（如果提到的话）
例如：
1. 直接引语：I will go to your birthday party
间接引语：He said (that)he would come to my birthday party.
或：He says (that) he will come to my birthday party.
2. 直接引语：I love ice cream.
间接引语：She says (that) she loves ice cream.
间接疑问句：
值得注意的是，我们一旦将问题向他人复述了，它便不再是一个问题了。因此，我们需要将其改成肯定句的语法形式。
例如：
1. 直接引语：Where do you live?
间接引语：She asked me where I lived.
2. 直接引语：Do you like ice cream?
间接引语：He asked me whether I liked ice cream.
或 He asked me if I liked ice cream.
间接祈使句：
假如别人（有礼貌地）请求你做一件事呢？我们无需将句子中的每个单词都向他人复述，而是使用“ask me to+动词不定式”或“ask me not to+动词不定式” 将祈使句改成陈述句。
例如：
1. 直接引语：Could you open the window, please?
间接引语：She asked me to open the window.
2. 直接引语：Please don’t smoke in the restaurant.
间接引语：She asked me not to smoke in that restaurant.
3. 直接引语：Could you bring my book tonight?
间接引语：She asked me to bring her book that night.
4. 直接引语：Guys, please don’t be late.
间接引语：She asked us not to be late.
来练习一下吧。
