一、单元语法
本单元主要涉及引述词为一般过去时的间接引语。
间接引语是指用自己的口吻和角度转述别人的话。在直接引语向间接引语转换的过程中，时间、地点、人称等方面应作相应的转换。如果主句谓语动词是过去时，引语部分时态也应变化为过去的某一时态，变化过程中应注意：
1．若直接引语为陈述句，则间接引语需改为以that所引导的宾语从句。如：The man said, “I often come to work very early”.→ The man said that he often came to work very early.
2．若直接引语为祈使句，则间接引语需改为动词不定式形式，原动词say也要改为可以带动词不定式作宾语补足语的动词如tell，ask，order，advise等。如：
1）Father said to me, “look after your sister.”→ Father told me to look after my sister.
2）Mrs. Black said to the students angrily, “Don’t make any noise again.”→ Mrs. Black ordered the students not to make any noise again.
3．若直接引语为一般疑问句，则间接引语改为以if，whether引导的宾语从句，原动词say也要改为ask。如：
The driver said to the woman, “Could you tell me the way to the bus station?”→ The driver asked the woman whether／if she could tell him the way to the bus station.

1）“What are you going to do next Friday afternoon?” Han Mei asked me. → Han Mei asked me what I was going to do the next Friday afternoon.
2）The boy asked, “How do you know the rule of that game?”→ The boy asked how I knew rule of that game.
