→My mother asked me whether I had finished the homework.
"Do you go to school by bus or by bike?"

③直接引語如果是特殊問句,間接引語應該改為由疑問代詞或疑問副詞引導的賓語從句***賓語從句必須用陳
述句語序***。
She asked me, "When do they have their dinner?"

"Bring me a cup of tea, please," said she.

⑤直接引語如果是以“Let‘s”開頭的祈使句,變為間接引語時,通常用“suggest +動名詞***或從句***。”如:
He said, "Let’s go to the film."
→He suggested going to the film.
或He suggested that they should go to see the film.
⑥直接引語是感嘆句時,間接引語為what 或how 引導,也可以用that 引導。
She said, "What a lovely day it is !"
→She said what a lovely day it was .或She said that it was a lovely day.
⑦如果直接引語中含有since, when, while 引導的表示過去時間的狀語從句,在變為間接引語時,只改變主句中的謂語動詞,從句的一般過去時則不變。如:
He said to me, "I have taught English since he came here ."
→He told me that he had taught English since he came here.
直接引語的注意事項
在以下幾種情況下。在直接引語變為間接引語時,時態一般不變化。
①直接引語是客觀真理。
②主句謂語為一般現在時,變間接引語時,若主句謂語時態不變仍為一般現在時,從句時態也不變。
③直接引語是一般現在時,且表示反覆出現或習慣性的動作,變間接引語,時態不變。如:
He said, "I get up at six every morning。" →He said he gets up at six every morning。
④直接引語為諺語警句或名人名言時,時態不變。
⑤直接引語為客觀事實真理,時態不變,常考的有:

The earth goes around the sun.地球繞著太陽轉。
