Bài tập chuyển câu trực tiếp sang gián tiếp kèm đáp án & lý thuyết

Tóm tắt lý thuyết câu trực tiếp, gián tiếp trong tiếng Anh

Khái niệm

Câu trực tiếp (Direct speech):

• Cách dùng: Câu trực tiếp được sử dụng để truyền đạt lời nói trực tiếp từ người nói ban đầu, không thay đổi hay làm ngắn gọn ý. Khi sử dụng câu trực tiếp, lời trích dẫn thường được bỏ trong dấu ngoặc kép " ".

• Cấu trúc ngữ pháp:

• Ví dụ: She said, "I am going to the store." hoặc “I am going to the store.”, she said.

Câu gián tiếp (Indirect speech):

• Cách dùng: Câu gián tiếp được sử dụng để truyền đạt lời nói của người khác. Nó tường thuật lại ý nghĩa hoặc thông tin một cách tổng quát. Câu gián tiếp không sử dụng dấu ngoặc kép mà thường sử dụng các từ nối như “that/if/whether/…”.

• Cấu trúc ngữ pháp:

• Ví dụ: She said that she was going to the store.

Lưu ý rằng khi sử dụng câu gián tiếp, thì của động từ thường được dịch chuyển về quá khứ so với thì của câu trực tiếp. Đồng thời, các đại từ, tân ngữ và các từ chỉ thời gian, địa điểm cũng thường được điều chỉnh tương ứng.

Cách biến đổi từ câu trực tiếp thành gián tiếp

1. Biến đổi thì của động từ trong mệnh đề

Trong quá trình chuyển từ câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp, thì của động từ trong mệnh đề thường phải thay đổi để phản ánh đúng thời gian của câu gián tiếp.

2. Biến đổi đại từ và tân ngữ

3. Biến đổi các từ chỉ thời gian, địa điểm
