Mục lục bài viết
I. Lý thuyết về câu tường thuật
Trước khi đi vào bắt đầu làm bài tập câu tường thuật, chúng ta cần phải nắm vững khái niệm và cách chuyển đổi từ câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp để dễ dàng làm bài tập hơn. Dưới đây Học IELTS sẽ cung cấp cho bạn kiến thức khái quát về câu tường thuật, cách chuyển đổi từ câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp và ví dụ để bạn dễ học
1. Lời nói trực tiếp (direct speech)
Lời nói trực tiếp (direct speech): là nói chính xác điều người nào đó diễn đạt (còn gọi là trích dẫn). Lời của người nói sẽ được đặt dưới dấu ngoặc kép.
Ví dụ:
- She said: ”The exam is difficult”.
(Cô ấy nói: “Bài kiểm tra này khó”)
– Cấu trúc câu trực tiếp:
“S + V…”, S + said/ said to Sb/ told.
(Trường hợp động từ tường thuật chia ở thì hiện tại thì khi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp ta sẽ không lùi thì)
2. Lời nói gián tiếp (indirect speech)
Lời nói gián tiếp – câu tường thuật (indirect speech): Là thuật lại lời nói của một người khác trong dạng gián tiếp, không sử dụng dấu ngoặc kép.
Ví dụ:
- Hoa said, ”I want to go home”.
→ Hoa said she wanted to go home. – là câu gián tiếp (indirect speech)
– Câu tường thuật dạng câu kể:
S + said/ said to Sb/ told + that + S + V (lùi thì)
– Câu tường thuật dạng câu hỏi:
S + asked/wanted to know/wondered + if/whether/Wh-words + S + V (lùi thì)
– Câu tường thuật dạng câu mệnh lệnh:
S + asked/ told + O + (not) + to V
3. Cách chuyển đổi câu trực tiếp thành gián tiếp trong tiếng Anh
Để chuyển câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp, chúng ta chỉ cần ghép nội dung tường thuật vào sau động từ tường thuật và thực hiện những biến đổi sau.
Nguyên tắc cần nhớ khi chuyển từ câu trực tiếp sang gián tiếp:
– Đổi ngôi, đổi tân ngữ
- Chủ ngữ:
I → he, she
We → they
You → We, I
- Tân ngữ:
me → him, her
us → them
you → me, us
- Đại từ sở hữu:
mine → his, her
ours → theirs
yours → mine, ours
- Tính từ sở hữu:
my → his, her
our → their
your → my, our
– Lùi thì

Modal verbs:

Tuy nhiên khi làm bài tập về câu trực tiếp gián tiếp, các bạn cần chú ý có những trường hợp động từ không thay đổi trong câu gián tiếp:
- Nói về chân lý, sự thật hiển nhiên
- Lời nói trực tiếp là câu điều kiện không có thật hoặc mệnh đề giả định theo sau
wish, would rather, would sooner, it’s time.
- Thì quá khứ đơn, quá khứ tiếp diễn trong mệnh đề chỉ thời gian
- Trong câu có năm xác định.
– Đổi cụm từ chỉ thời gian, nơi chốn
Câu trực tiếp |
Câu gián tiếp |
this these here now today yesterday the day before yesterday tomorrow the day after tomorrow ago this week last week next week |
that those there then, at that time that day the day before; the previous day two days before the day after; the next/following day two days after; in two days’ time before that week the week before, the previous week the week after; the following/next week |
