II. Hướng dẫn học sinh cách làm bài tập trắc nghiệm
1. Nhận biết đáp án sai và loại trực tiếp:
a. Dựa vào thì của động từ:
- nếu nhận biết được đó là 1 câu gián tiếp mà có đáp án liên quan tới thì hiện tại (hiện tại đơn, hiện tại tiếp
diễn, hiện tai hoàn thành) hoặc tương lai (tương lai đơn, tương lai gần) thì sẽ loại trực tiếp đáp án đó.
- nếu đó là 1 câu hỏi thì có thể loại trực tiếp những đáp án có trợ động từ đảo lên trước chủ ngữ.
Ex: I said to Nick: “Where are you going?”
A. I asked Nick where was he going.
B. I asked Nick where he was going.


C. I asked Nick where is he going.
D. I asked Nick where he is going.
Phân tích: đây là câu hỏi chuyển sang gián tiếp nên có thể loại trực tiếp đáp án A, C, D do đã đảo trợ động

từ lên trước chủ ngữ (A, C) và sử dụng thì động từ không phù hợp (D).
b. Dựa vào trạng từ: nếu có những đáp án không phù hợp về trạng từ thì cũng loại trực tiếp (trong câu gián
tiếp không thể có các trạng từ như: today, yesterday, tomorrow, here, now, last........)
Ex: “I wrote to him yesterday”
a. She said to me I wrote to him the day before.
b. She told me she wrote to him yesterday.
c. She told me she had written to him yesterday.
d. She told me she had written to him the day before.
Phân tích: câu này có thể loại trực tiếp đáp án b, c do sử dụng trạng từ yesterday trong câu gián tiếp là
không phù hợp.
c. Dựa vào 1 số cấu trúc cố định: 1 số cấu trúc đi với to V/ Ving
Ex: Jamei: “ Don’t eat so much junk food !”
a. Jamei reminded me not to eat so much junk food
b. Jamei asked me to not eat so much junk food
c. Jamei reminded me not to ate so much junk food
d. Jamei says me not to eat so much junk food
Phân tích: câu này có thể loại trực tiếp đáp án b, c do không đúng cấu trúc (reminded/ asked sbd not to V).
2. Với những đáp án có thể đúng còn lại, học sinh tiếp tục xem xét và loại trừ dần để chọn ra đáp án
đúng nhất.
