直接引语如果不是陈述句,在变为间接引语时,通常要变为陈述句的语序,并对人称、时态、时间状语和地点状语等作相应的变化。
1. 一般疑问句和反意疑问句变为间接引语时用连词where 或if引导。如：
He said, ”Did she finish her homework in time?”
→He asked me whether she had finished her homework in time.
Comrade wang asked him, ”Do you know how to say this sentence in English?”
→Comrade wang asked him whether he knew how to say that sentence in English.
He asked, ”You have succeeded, haven’t you ?”
→He asked us if we had succeeded.
2. 选择疑问句变为间接引语时用whether….or引导，如：
He asked me ,”Will you go abroad or stay in Beijing?”
→He asked me whether I would go abroad or stay in Beijing.
3. 特殊疑问句变为间接引语时使用原来的疑问词。如：
He said, ”What have you got in your bag?”
→He asked me what I had got in your bag?”
