直接引语变间接引语陈述句的变化规则
来源: 英语语法网栏目: 引语
直接引语如果是陈述句，变为间接引语时，用连词that（可省略）引导，从句中的人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语都要发生相应的变化。
人称的变化——人称的变化主要是要理解句子的意思
例：1. He said, “ I like it very much.” → He said that he liked it very much.
- He said to me, “I’v left my book in your room.”
→ He told me that he had left his book in my room.
时态的变化
| 直接引语 | 间接引语 |
| 一般现在时 | 一般过去时 |
| 现在进行时 | 过去进行时 |
| 现在完成时 | 过去完成时 |
| 一般过去时 | 过去完成时 |
| 一般将来时 | 过去将来时 |
| 过去完成时 | 过去完成时 |
例：
“I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary,” said Anne.
→Anne said that she didn’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary.
The boy said, “I’m using a knife.”
→ The boy said that he was using a knife.
▲注意：如果直接引语是客观真理，变为间接引语时，时态不变，如：
He said, “Light travels much faster than sound.”
He said that light travels much faster than sound.
指示代词、时间状语、地点状语和动词的变化
