Cấu trúc câu trực tiếp và câu gián tiếp từ A - Z

* PHẦN I: LÝ THUYẾT

A. Câu trực tiếp và câu gián tiếp (Direct and Reported speech):

Giống: Luôn có 2 phần: mệnh đề tường thuậtlời nói trực tiếp hay lời nói gián tiếp

Eg: Tom says, “I go to college next summer”

         MĐTT                  Lời nói trực tiếp

      Tom says (that) he goes to college next summer

        MĐTT                    Lời nói gián tiếp

 Khác:   

a. Direct speech: Là lời nói được thuật lại đúng nguyên văn của người nói. Được viết giữa dấu trích hay ngoặc kép và ngăn cách với mệnh đề tường thuật bởi dấu phẩy

eg: John said, “I like reading science books”

      The teacher said, “I’ll give you a test tomorrow”

b. Reported speech / Indirect speech: Là lời nói được thuật lại với ý và từ của người thuật, nhưng vẫn giữ nguyên ý. Không bị ngăn cách bởi dấu phẩy hay dấu ngoặc kép, và luôn tận cùng bằng dấu chấm câu.

Eg: John said (that) he liked reading science books

      The teacher said (that) he would give us a test the next day

B/ Các thay đổi trong câu gián tiếp

1. Thay đổi động từ tường thuật: Động từ tường thuật của lời nói trực tiếp phải được đổi phù hợp với nghĩa hoặc cấu trúc câu của lời nói gián tiếp

Eg: He said, “Do you like coffee?” à He asked me if I liked coffee

     “If I were you, I’d not buy that coat,” said Mary à Mary advised me not to buy the coat

Chú ý: SAY TO: không bao giờ được dùng ở lời nói gián tiếp. (phải đổi bằng TELL + (O))

           TELL: không bao giờ được dùng ở lời nói trực tiếp.

2. Thay đổi các ngôi ( đại từ, tính từ, đại từ sở hữu) theo tình huống của câu:

 VD:  Mr Nam said to Hoa, “You take your book out and show it to me

- Tình huống 1: Một người bạn của Hoa tường thuật với người bạn khác: Mr Nam told Hoa that she took her book out and showed it to him.

- Tình huống 2: Hoa tường thuật với một người bạn khác: Mr Nam told me that I took my book out and showed it to him

- Tình huống 3: Thầy Nam tường thuật với người khác: I told Hoa that she took her book out and showed it to me

a.Đổi NGÔI THỨ NHÌ (II) ra một ngôi nào đó để cùng một ngôi với đại từ tân ngữ trong mệnh đề chính.

EX1:Direct:   She says to me: “ You are late today”

        Indirect: She tells me that I am late today.

EX2:Direct:    He says to her: “ I want to go with you

        Indirect:  He tells  her  that he wanted to go with her.

Lưu ý: -Nếu câu trực tiếp dùng “say to” thì câu gián tiếp đổi thành”tell

b. Ngôi thứ ba không đổi :

Ex: Direct:    She says: “He  is lazy”

       Indirect: She says that he is lazy.
