把直接引語變為間接引語時,人稱變化較複雜
規律:一主、二賓、三不變。
(直接引語為祈使句,變為間接引語不是複合句而是簡單句,第二人稱的變化就與簡單句賓語的人稱保持一致)
例句:
1.He says,“I did my homework myself yesterday.”→
He says that he did his homework himself the day before.
直接引語中的I,my和myself變化時與主句的he的人稱保持一致,分別變為he, his和himself。
2.She said to Tom,“Can you lend your dictionary to me”→
She asked Tom whether(if)he could lend his dictionary to her.
直接引語中的you和your變化時與主句的間接賓語Tom的人稱保持一致,分別變為he和hisme與主句的主語she的人稱保持一致,變為her。
3.He says,“My sister was here three days ago,but she is not here now.”→
He says that his sister was there three days before,but she is not there then.
直接引語中的my變化時與主句的主語he的人稱保持一致,變為hisshe是第三人稱,保持不變。
