Goals

◆ Help the students to learn new words and phrases.

◆ Help the students to summarize the usage of the indirect speech.

Procedures

Leading in: by presentation.

Good morning, class. Yesterday we learned the first part of the play “The Merchant of Venice”. Now I want one of you to retell the story in your own words.

Task 1: Word study.

1. Turn to Word Study on page 69 and do the exercises.

2. Explain some words and phrases.

Task 2: Review Direct and Indirect Speech.

1. Now it’s time for us to review the Indirect Speech. First of all we will do some exercises. Please change the following sentences into indirect speech.

1) He said to me, “Don’t touch the machine”.

2) He said, “I will call on my uncle tomorrow”.

3) He said to me, “Did you see the play yesterday?”

4) He said to her, “How long have you had the car?”

2. Summing up. 直接引語和間接引語

一、 人稱代詞的變化

直接引語變間接引語時，人稱代詞的變化一般規律是：第一人稱→第三人稱；第二人稱→第一人稱；第三人稱→第三人稱，簡記為“二一、一三、三留三”。這些變化需要在實踐中體驗，才能熟練運用。如：

“I’m thinking of changing my address.”he said.→

He said that he was thinking of changing his address. (I 和he指同一人)

Xiao Ming asked me, “Are you going to the park with us?”→

Xiao Ming asked me if I was going to the park with them.(us與them指相同的人，Xiao Ming是其中的一員；me和you指同一人)

Mr. Li said, “She will attend the meeting.”→

Mr. Li said that she would attend the meeting. (Mr. Li和she不是同一人)

但當說話者是第一人稱，直接引語中的主語也是第一人稱時，不作變化。如：

I said to my children, “I will give you some presents on Christmas Day.”→

I told my children I would give them some presents on Christmas Day. (I為同一說話者)

二、 時態的變化

直接引語變間接引語時，時態的變化規律是往“過去”相應的時態推移：

一般現在時→一般過去時，一般將來時→過去將來時，現在進行時→過去進行時，現在完成時→過去完成時，一般過去時/過去完成時→過去完成時。如：

My father told me, “He will come back next week.”→

My father told me that he would come back the next week.

She asked me, “Did you finish your homework?”→She asked me of I had finished my homework.

要注意，直接引語屬于下列情況時，時態不作變化：

1、 直接引語屬真理或客觀事實時：

The teacher said to us, “Light runs much faster than sound.”→

The teacher told us light runs much faster than sound.

2、 主句謂語動詞是現在或將來某個時態：

The old man often says, “I joined the Red Army when I was young.”→

The old man often says that he joined the Red Army when he was young.

3、 直接引語帶有具體的過去時間狀語時：

The politics teacher said to us, “The party was founded in 1921.”→

The politics teacher told us that the party was founded in 1921.

4、 直接引語謂語有情態動詞：had better, would rather, 及need, must, ought to等時：He said to me, “I would rather live in the countryside.”→

He told me that he would rather live in the countryside.

5、 直接引語為虛擬語氣謂語時：

She said, “I would be happy if I were a bird.” →

She said that she would be happy if she were a bird.

三、 其它詞語的變化

常見需要變化的詞語列表如下：

Last week the week before
