Cách đổi câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp
I. Câu mệnh lệnh và câu yêu cầu (orders and requests)
Câu mệnh lệnh, yêu cầu, đề nghị được đổi từ trực tiếp sang gián tiếp, mở đầu bằng
những động từ: order, command, tell, ask, request và theo sau là tân ngữ trực tiếp
chỉ người nhận lệnh + to-infinitive
Ex.
“Hurry up, Lan”
“Shut the door”

‘Don’t leave the room.”
“Please don’t tell anybody what happened.”
II. Câu hỏi (questions)
1. Yes – No questions
- Trong lời nói gián tiếp loại câu này được mở đầu bằng các động từ
ask, inquire, wonder, want to know…
- Dùng if / whether ngay sau động từ giới thiệu của mệnh đề chính
- Đổi trật tự câu hỏi thành câu trần thuật và đổi các đại từ, tính từ, thì
của động từ…
Ex. “Have you seen that film”
=>
“Will Tom be here tomorrow?”
=>
2. wh- questions
Lặp lại từ để hỏi (what, when , where…) sau động từ giới thiệu
Đổi trật tự câu hỏi thành câu trần thuật và đổi các đại từ, tính từ, thì của động từ…
Ex: “What time does the film begin?”
=>
“What will happen if she can not find her passpost?”
=>
“I have left my watch at home. Can you tell me the time?’
=>
III. Câu cảm thán (exclamations)
Câu cảm thán thường được thuật lại bằng động từ exclaimed/ said that
Ex. “What a lovely garden they have!”
=>
“How hot is is!”
=>
IV. Câu trần thuật (statements)
