CÂU TƯỜNG THUẬT
(Reported speech)
I- PHÂN BIỆT CÂU TRỰC TIẾP VÀ CÂU GIÁN TIẾP
Câu trực tiếp

Câu gián tiếp

- Câu trực tiếp là câu nói của ai đó được trích
dẫn lại ngun văn và thường được để trong
dấu ngoặc kép (“… ”).
Ví dụ:
+ Mary said “ I don’t like ice-cream”. (Cơ ấy
nói rằng: “Tơi khơng thích kem”.)
Ta thấy trong dấu ngoặc kép là lời nói trực tiếp
của Mary và nó được trích dẫn lại một cách
nguyên văn.

- Câu gián tiếp là câu tường thuật lại lời nói của
người khác theo ý của người tường thuật và ý
nghĩa khơng thay đổi.
Ví dụ:
+ Mary said that she didn’t like ice-cream.
(Mary nói cơ ấy khơng thích kem.)
Ta thấy câu nói của Mary được tường thuật lại
theo cách nói của người tường thuật và ý nghĩa
thì vẫn giữ nguyên.

II- CÁC CÁCH TƯỜNG THUẬT TỪ CÂU NÓI TRỰC TIẾP SANG CÂU NĨI GIÁN TIẾP
Ta cần phân tích cấu trúc của câu trực tiếp và câu gián tiếp qua các ví dụ sau:

- My mother said “I want you to study harder.” (Mẹ tơi nói “Mẹ muốn con học hành chăm chỉ
hơn.)
Ta có:
- Động từ “said” được gọi là “Động từ giới thiệu”
- Động từ “want” là động từ chính trong câu trực tiếp.
- “I” là chủ ngữ trong câu trực tiếp
- “you” là tân ngữ trong câu trực tiếp
- My mother said / told me that she wanted me to study harder. (Mẹ tơi nó bà ấy muốn tơi học
hành chăm chỉ hơn)
Ta thấy các thành phần như “động từ giới thiệu”, động từ chính, các đại từ (I/you/…) trong câu
trực tiếp khi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp đều phải biến đổi.
Vậy những thành phần nào cần biến đổi, và biến đổi như thế nào, ta sẽ đi vào từng loại câu cụ thể.
1. Các thành phần cần biến đổi trong câu gián tiếp:
* Các đại từ: Ta cần thay đổi đại từ sao cho phù hợp với ngữ cảnh trong câu
* Thay đổi thì của câu:
Thì của các động từ trong lời nói gián tiếp thay đổi theo một nguyên tắc chung là lùi về quá khứ

The next day / the following day
In two day’s time / two days after
The day before / the previous day
Two day before
The following week
The previous week / the week
before
The previous year / the year before

2. Khi trong dấu ngoặc kép là một câu trần thuật (là một câu khẳng định và mang nghĩa kể

lại, trần thuật lại điều gì đó).
- Ta cần biến đổi các đại từ cho phù hợp với ý nghĩa của câu
- Các động từ giới thiệu thường dùng là: say (that), tell sb (that)
* Nếu động từ giới thiệu chia ở các thì hiện tại, hoặc tương lai:
-> ta khơng cần lùi thì động từ chính trong câu gián tiếp
Ví dụ:
- She says “I don’t want to stay at home every day.”
-> She says / tells me that she doesn’t want to stay at home every day.
Ta thấy trong dấu ngoặc kép là một câu trần thuật, và động từ giới thiệu “says” chia thì hiện tại
đơn nên động từ trong câu trực tiếp khơng lùi thì (giữ ngun thì) trong câu gián tiếp. Các đại từ
cần thay đổi cho phù hợp nghĩa là: I -> she
* Nếu động từ giới thiệu chia ở các thì quá khứ:
-> Ta cần lùi thì động từ chính trong câu gián tiếp
Ví dụ:
- She said “My father is travelling in America”.
-> She said that her father was travelling in America.
Ta thấy động từ giới thiệu “said” chia quá khứ đơn nên động từ trong câu trực tiếp (chia ở hiện tại
tiếp diễn) phải lùi thì trong câu gián tiếp (thì quá khứ tiếp diễn).
3. Khi trong dấu ngoặc kép là câu hỏi.
* Nếu trong dấu ngoặc kép là câu hỏi khơng có từ hỏi.
-> Trong câu gián tiếp thêm “if” hoặc “whether” và mệnh đề theo sau biến đổi về dạng khẳng định.
-> Động từ giới thiệu thường sử dụng: ask, wonder
Ví dụ:
- She said “Do you want to go with me?”
-> She asked if I wanted to go with her.
- Mary said “Do you go to school by bus, Peter?”
-> Mary asked Peter whether he went to school by bus.
* Nếu trong dấu ngoặc kép là câu hỏi có từ hỏi (what/where/when/how/who/…)
MS CHI TO-CUNG ON THI CONG CHUC

Page 3


MS CHI TO – CUNG ON THI CONG CHUC

-> Trong câu gián tiếp phải biến đổi mệnh đề sau từ hỏi về dạng khẳng định.
-> Động từ giới thiệu thường sử dụng: ask, wonder, want to know
Ví dụ:
- He asked “what time will you come?”
-> He asked what time I would come.
3. Khi trong dấu ngoặc kép là câu mệnh lệnh thức.
-> Ta xét nghĩa của câu rồi sử dụng các cấu trúc cho phù hợp.
* Khi câu mệnh lệnh thức trong dấu ngoặc kép mang nghĩa yêu cầu, đề nghị ai đó làm gì ta
có thể sử dụng các cấu trúc sau:
- tell/ ask/ require/ request/ demand + sb + to do st: Yêu cầu, đề nghị hay đòi hỏi ai làm gì.

-> She asked me to close the door.
* Khi trong dấu ngoặc kép mang nghĩa ra lệnh ta sử dụng cấu trúc sau:
- order sb to do st: ra lệnh cho ai làm gì.

- invite sb to do st
Ví dụ:
- My friend said “Will you go the zoo with me?”

* Khi trong dấu ngoặc kép là câu cảm thán ta sử dụng động từ “exclaim”
Ví dụ:
- She said “What an intelligent boy!”
-> She exclaimed that the boy was intelligent.
* Khi trong dấu ngoặc kép mang nghĩa xin lỗi ta sử dụng cấu trúc:
- apologize (to sb) for st/ for doing st: xin lỗi (ai) về điều gì/ vì đã làm gì
