在日常生活中我們經(jīng)常需要引述別人的話或轉(zhuǎn)告一件事，這就涉及到間接引語的使用問題了。
Zeng Chenxiao 列舉的第一句話，表達(dá)不正確，錯就錯在沒有把疑問詞和動詞進(jìn)行有效的轉(zhuǎn)換。當(dāng)我們把What’s the matter? 這句問話轉(zhuǎn)換為一個陳述句時，就要說 He asked me what the matter was。請試試看，能不能把以下四句話從直接引語轉(zhuǎn)換為間接引語，再從間接引語轉(zhuǎn)回到直接引語呢？
What – What is her name? He asked me what her name was.
How – How can I find her number? He asked me how he could find her number.
Where – Where am I going to meet her? He asked me where he was going to meet her.
When – When can you finish the job? He asked me when I could finish the job.
