VI. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each of the questions. My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party where she doesn’t know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces herself. And yet she doesn’t seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or religion. She always starts off with something very obvious like the other person’s job. Very soon she talks as if she’s known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it’s very easy to keep a conservation going. You have to listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don’t keep looking at other things in the room while you’re talking to someone.

Hướng dẫn sử dụng câu trực tiếp gián tiếpNgười đăng: Hoàng Ngọc Quỳnh Ngày: 25062017Bài viết này tổng hợp các quy tắc và cách sử dụng để giúp người học nắm vững cách sử dụng câu trực tiếp, gián tiếp, cũng như cách biến đổi từ câu trực tiếp thành câu gián tiếp trong tiếng Anh.Hướng dẫn sử dụng câu trực tiếp gián tiếpA. LÝ THUYẾTI. Khái niệm Trước hết chúng ta cùng tìm hiểu về định nghĩa của câu trực tiếp (direct speech) và câu gián tiếp (indirect speech)Câu trực tiếp (direct speech) dùng để trích dẫn, lặp lại chính xác lời của người nói, thường được để trong ...Ví dụ: Minh said I will buy a house Câu in đậm trong ... dùng để lặp lại chính xác lời nói.Động từ tường thuật (Say, said, tell, told, asked,...) là động từ dùng để tường thuật lại một câu nóiCâu gián tiếp dùng để tường thuật lại một câu mà ai đó đã nói trước đấy, không nhất thiết phải sử dụng lại đúng hoàn toàn câu chữ mà người nói sử dụng.Ví dụ: Minh said that he would buy a house.Câu in đậm dùng để tường thuật lại lời nói, said là động từ tường thuật.II.Quy tắc biến đổi câu trực tiếp thành câu gián tiếp Đổi chủ ngữ tân ngữ (SubjectObject) Tùy thuộc vào chủ ngữtân ngữ được sử dụng trong câu trực tiếp để biến đổi ở câu gián tiếp theo quy tắc: Chủ ngữtân ngữ(SubjectObject)I me She, he Her, him We usThey themYouyou I, we me, usTrạng từ chỉ nơi chốn: Trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn(Adverb of place)ThisThatThatThatTheseThoseThoseThoseHereThere Động từ khuyết thiếu Động từ khuyết thiếuModal verbsCanCouldMayMightShallShouldMustMust Trạng từ chỉ thời gian Trạng từ chỉ thời gian (Adverb of time)NowThenTodayThat dayYesterdayThe day before the previous dayThe day before yesterdayTwo days beforeTomorrowThe day afterthe next (following) dayThe day after tomorrowTwo days after in two days’ timeAgoBeforeThis weekThat weekLast weekThe week before the previous weekLast nightThe night beforeNext weekThe week after the following week Lùi thì Khi chuyển một lời nói trực tiếp thành một lời nói gián tiếp, chúng ta sẽ lùi thì của động từ được sử dụng ở trong câu trực tiếp. Quy tắc cụ thể như sau:Câu trực tiếp (Direct speech)Câu gián tiếp (Indirect speech)Ví dụHiện tại đơn(Present simple)V VsesQuá khứ đơnPast simpleVedHe said: I go to school everyday> He said that he went to school everyday. Hiện tại tiếp diễn(Present progressive)isamare+VingQuá khứ tiếp diễn(Past progressive) waswere +VingShe said:I am going to HCM city> She said that she was going to HCM city. Hiện tại hoàn thành(Present perfect) havehas+VpIIQuá khứ hoàn thành(Past perfect)had+VPIIThey said:We have been here for three days> They said that they had been there for three days. Quá khứ đơnPast simpleVedQuá khứ hoàn thành(Past perfect)had+VPIIHe said:I went to the zoo yesterday> He said that he had gone to the zoo the previous day. Quá khứ tiếp diễn (Past progressive) waswere +Ving Quá khứ tiếp diễn Quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn(Past progressivePast perfect progressive) had+VPII had +been +VingShe said: I was cooking when he came> She said that she had cooked had been cooking when he had come Quá khứ hoàn thành(Past perfect)had+VPIIQuá khứ hoàn thành(Past perfect)had+VPIIHe said: I had gone home before 10 p.m yesterday> He said that he had gone home before 10 p.m the previous day. Tương lai đơn(Future simple)will +VTương lai trong quá khứ (Future in the past)would +VHe said:I will call you later> He said that he would call me later. Tương lai gần(Near future)isamare +going to+V Waswere +going to +VThey said:We are going to London this summer> They said that they were going to London that summer. Lưu ý: Nếu động từ tường thuật chia ở thì hiện tại thì không lùi thì mà giữ nguyên thì của câu trực tiếpVí dụ:He says: I go to the hospital twice a year> He says that he goes to the hospital twice a year. III. Cách biến đổi câu trực tiếp thành câu gián tiếpCâu trực tiếp là câu kểcâu trần thuậtKhi câu trực tiếp là câu kể (câu trần thuật) thì câu gián tiếp sẽ có cấu trúc:S + Reported Verb + That + Clause Say said (to sb) Tell told (sb)Ví dụ: “I’m going to visit Japan next month”, she said.→ She said that she was going to visit Japan the following month.Câu trực tiếp là câu hỏi nghi vấn Khi câu trực tiếp là hỏi nghi vấn thì câu gián tiếp sẽ có cấu trúc:S + askasked (sb) + if + clause wonderwondered whether wantwanted to know Ví dụDo you like chicken?, she asked> She asked if I like chicken. Câu trực tiếp là câu hỏi Whquestion:S + askasked (sb) + What + clause wonderwondered Where wantwanted to know When How Why Ví dụ:“Where do you live, Nam?”, asked she. → She asked Nam where he lived.Lưu ý: Ở câu gián tiếp, câu hỏi phải được chuyển về câu tường thuật.
