今天和大家讲一个很常见的却经常容易被大家忽视的语法，直接引语和间接引语。这个语法点从小学就有涉及。其实理解起来也很简单，放在我们汉语上面就很容易了，比如你和你妈妈正在说话，然后爸爸突然问了一句“你妈妈刚才说什么了？" 你把你妈妈的话再转述一遍就是由直接引语转换为间接引语了。但是在英语中，还是有一些同学这个语法点掌握的不是足够的扎实，今天我和大家详细的分析一下。
首先我们看一下定义：
直接引述别人的话， 叫直接引语Direct Speech。
被引用的部分放在引号里；用自己的话转述别人的话，叫间接引语Indirect Speech，间接引语不用引号，在多数情况下以宾语从句的形式出现。
我们先看几句话
Direct Speech
She said, “I like singing. ”
She said, “I am waiting for a bus.”
Indirect Speech
She said she liked singing.
She said she was waiting for a bus.
从以上的句子中我们可以看出，直接引语是陈述句，变为间接引语时用连词that引导宾语从句.从句中的人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语 等相应变化.
具体给大家总结几个表格
※直接引语中的指示代词转换规则：
this变为that; these变为those
本来就是that/those则不变。
※直接引语中动词come在间接引语中用go:
※直接引语中副词here在间接引语中用there
然后我们再来看看句式的变化。
语序的变化
间接引语一般要用陈述句的语序，即主、谓、宾的顺序。
He asked Lucy, “Where did you go?”
→ He asked Lucy where she went.
Tom said, “What do you want, Ann?”
→ Tom asked Ann what she wanted.
好了，今天关于直接引语和间接引语的知识点就和大家分析到这里，希望能对你们以后的学习有所帮助，欢迎提出宝贵的意见。下面附上几道直接引语和间接引语的习题，大家可以评论留言。
