Khái niệm câu trực tiếp gián tiếp

Lời nói trực tiếp (hay còn gọi là direct speech): là dạng câu đưa ra lời trích dẫn trực tiếp các ngôn từ trong câu nói của người nào đó. Cách nhận dạng là câu nói được đặt trong dấu ngoặc kép.

E.g: Mary said, “I am too short to reach this shelf.”

(Mary nói, tôi quá ngắn để đến được kệ này.)

Trong đó câu nói trực tiếp (hay trực tiếp) đã được để trong dấu ngoặc kép là “I am too short to reach this shelf.”

Lời nói gián tiếp (indirect speech): hay còn gọi là câu tường thuật nhằm thể hiện lại câu nói của môt người khác dưới biểu đạt ngôn ngữ của mình. Đặc biệt trong câu gián tiếp không xuất hiên dấu ngoặc kép như ở câu trực tiếp.

E.g:

John said, “My father exercises at 5.am daily.” (Câu trực tiếp)

John said his father did exercise at 5.am daily.” (Câu gián tiếp)

Cách chuyển từ câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp

Về phương pháp làm dạng này khá dễ dàng nhưng cần phải chú ý vào những đặc điểm quan trọng.

• Thứ nhất là ở câu gián tiếp không có dấu ngoặc kép
• Chủ ngữ nếu là ngôi thứ nhất thì phải được hạ xuống ngôi thứ 3
• Động từ cũng xuống một cấp quá khứ

Trong trường hợp thì được sử dụng trong câu trực tiếp là thì hiện tại thì khi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp ta giữ nguyên thì động từ, đại từ chỉ định và cả các trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn hoặc thời gian.

E.g:

She says: “I am going to Paris next year.”

(Cô ấy nói: tôi sẽ đến Paris vào năm tới.)

She says she is going to Paris next year.

(Cô ấy nói rằng cô ấy sẽ đến Paris vào năm tới.)

Trong trường hợp thì được sử dụng trong câu trực tiếp là quá khứ thì khi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp ta cần phải lùi động từ chính về một bậc, kèm theo những sự thay đổi phù hợp về trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn hay thời gian.

▬ Bảng biến đổi thì và các động từ phù hợp

Câu trực tiếpCâu gián tiếpPresent simple (Thì hiện tại đơn)Past simplePresent continuousPast continuousPresent perfectPast perfectPast simplePast perfectPersent perfect continuousPast perfect continuousPast continuousPast perfect continuousWill WouldCanCouldMust/ have to
Had toMayMight

▬ Bảng biến đổi các đại từ và những từ hạn định phù hợp

Câu trực tiếp Câu gián tiếpChủ ngữIHe/sheYouI/we/theyWeWe/theyTân ngữMeHim/herYouMe/us/themUsUs/themĐại từ sở hữuMyHis/herYourMy/our/theirOurOur/theirĐại từ sở hữuMineHis/hersYoursMine/ours/theirsOursOurs/theirsĐại từ chỉ địnhThisThe/thatTheseThe/those

▬ Bảng biến đổi các trạng ngữ chỉ nơi chốn và thời gian

Câu trực tiếpCâu gián tiếpHereThereNowThen/ at that momentToday/ tonightThat day/ that nightTomorrowthe next dayNext weekThe following weekYesterdayThe previous day

The day before

Last weekThe week beforeAgobefore

Một số điểm lưu ý cần ghi nhớ: Trong quá trình biến đổi từ câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp thì động từ chính (gần chủ ngữ nhất) sẽ bị hạ xuống một cột. Điều này được diễn giải như sau:

→ Động từ ở cột 1 thì hạ xuống thành cột 2

(chỉ cần thêm ed chứ không phải là đổi sang thành dạng động từ bất quy tắc)

→ Động từ ở cột 2 thì hạ xuống thành cột 3

→ Động từ cột 3 thì chỉ cần thêm had ở phía trước

Ngoài ra, có một vài trường hợp thì động từ chính không cần phải hạ xuống bậc:

• Nói về chân lý, một sự thật hiển nhiên
• Khi câu trực tiếp đã ở dạng quá khứ hoàn thành
• Trong câu có năm xác định cụ thể
• Những câu có kèm cấu trúc như: if only, as though, as if, would rather, wish, it’s high time, if loại 2 hoặc 3.

Các dạng câu tường thuật trong tiếng anh

2. Câu tường thuật khi ở dạng là câu hỏi
