直接引语转换为间接引语的关键――时态

直接引语在改为间接引语时，时态需要做相应的变化。一般规律是：现在时改为过去时；过去时改为完成时；过去完成时不变。如：

She said, "I had been here for three days before I met Jim." →She said she had been there for three days before she met Jim.

She said, "We agree with each other." →She said they agreed with each other.

但更要注意在以下几种情况下，直接引语变为间接引语时，时态一般不变化。

1）若直接引语为一般现在时，且表示反复出现或经常性、习惯性的动作时。如：

Tom said, “ I have lunch at school every day.” →Tom said that he has lunch at school every day.

2）直接引语中有具体的表示过去时间的年、月、日作状语，变为间接引语时，时态不变。如：

I said, "I was born on December 2l, 1960." → I said I was born on December 21, 1960.

3）若直接引语所表述的事在目前和说话时同样有效时。如：

She said, “I like playing football.” →She said that she likes playing football.

4）若直接引语表述的是客观事实、科学真理和格言时。如：

The old man said, “There are twelve months a year.”

→The old man said that there are twelve months a year.

5）若主句的时态是一般现在时、现在完成式、现在进行时或一般将来时时。如：
