Thuongmai University, Vietnam English Grammar Reported Speech Reported speech (câu tường thuật/ câu gián tiếp) - Reported speech is when we tell someone what another person said (Câu tường thuật/ gián tiếp câu dùng muốn thuật lại hay kế lại câu mà người khác nói.) Chúng ta có cách để kể lại với người khác Lisa nói gì: Lặp lại y nguyên lời Lisa: Lisa said, 'I'm tired.' = Lisa nói 'Mình mệt." Hoặc thuật lại lời nói Lisa: Lisa said that she was tired. = Lisa nói mệt → Đây gọi câu tường thuật STEPS (4 bước để chuyển từ câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp): Chọn động từ tường thuật (told, said, asked, suggested…) “Lùi thì” động từ Đổi đại từ nhân xưng, đại từ sở hữu tính từ sở hữu Đổi trạng từ thời gian/ nơi chốn Statements (Câu phát biểu): Direct speech Reported/ Indirect speech Chủ ngữ nói Hiện đơn -> khơng lùi Tom says: “I am a student.” Tom says he is a student My mom says: “I will go to Paris.” My mom says she will go to Paris Chủ ngữ nói Q khứ đơn -> lùi S + said: “clause” S + told + sb (that) + clause (lùi thì) S + said (that)/ said to sb that + clause (lùi thì) Mary said, “I am watching TV.” Mary said (that)/ said to me that she was watching TV She said, ‘My brother is a doctor.’ She told me (that) her brother was a doctor Cùng học bước để chuyển câu trực tiếp sang câu tường thuật thơng qua một ví dụ nhé! Tom said, “I want to see this movie with my girlfriend tomorrow.” Bước 1: Chọn từ tường thuật Ta thường dùng động từ là said (quá khứ đơn của say, có nghĩa nói) và told (quá khứ đơn tell, có nghĩa nói với đó): - Tom told Kelly (that) (Từ told bắt buộc phải dùng chúng ta muốn thuật lại Tom nói với người khác.) Tom said (that)/ said to Kelly that (Cịn khơng muốn nhắc đến người khác này, chúng ta dùng từ say Nếu muốn đề cập người nói với dùng “to” Ngồi said told, cịn sử dụng nhiều từ khác để miêu tả rõ tính chất lời nói hơn: asked = yêu cầu denied = phủ nhận promised = hứa suggested = gợi ý, đề nghị… Tuy nhiên, từ thường không sử dụng cấu trúc said that hay told somebody that, mà sử dụng cấu trúc V-ing To + Verb, ví dụ asked somebody + To Verb hay denied + V-ing Câu tường thuật tạm thời đến bước là: I want to see this movie with my girlfriend tomorrow → Tom said that I want to see this movie with my girlfriend tomorrow Bước 2: Lùi Để diễn đạt lời nói thuật lại khứ khơng tại, cần phải đưa động từ khứ Thao tác thường gọi "lùi thì" Chúng ta "lùi thì" cách tổng quát như sau: Hiện → Quá khứ Tương lai → Tương lai khứ Quá khứ → Quá khứ hoàn thành Direct speech Present simple (Hiện đơn) I like ice cream Reported speech Past simple (Quá khứ đơn) He said he liked ice cream Present continous (Hiện tiếp diễn) I am living in London Past continuous (Quá khứ tiếp diễn) He said he was living in London Present perfect (Hiện hoàn thành) I haven't seen Julie Past perfect (Quá khứ hoàn thành) He said he hadn't seen Julie Present perfect continuous (Hiện Past perfect continuous (Quá khứ hoàn thành hoàn thành tiếp diễn) tiếp diễn) Lan said, ‘I have been waiting for you Lan said (that) she had been waiting for me for for hours.’ hours Past simple (Quá khứ đơn) I bought a car Past simple/ Past perfect He said he had bought a car Past continous I was walking along the street Past perfect continous He said he had been walking along the street Past perfect (khơng đổi khơng thể lùi Past perfect nữa) I had taken English lessons before He said he had taken English lessons before Past perfect continuous Past perfect continuous (khơng đổi khơng thể lùi nữa) Future simple (Tương lai đơn) My mother said, ‘I will visit Hue city’ Present conditional/ Future in the Past (Tương lai đơn khứ) My mother said (that) she would visit Hue city Future continuous He said, ‘I will be sitting at the café’ Present continuous conditional (Tương lai tiếp diễn khứ) He said (that) he would be sitting at the café’ Modal verbs (Động từ khuyết thiếu) Can I can speak perfect English Could She said (that) she could speak perfect English May I may be late You may wait here Might (khả năng)/ Could (sự cho phép) He said he might be late (khả năng) He said we could wait there (sự cho phép) Shall I shall come later Would She said (that) she would come later Must ‘You must go back before 10.’ ‘It must be wonderful to live there.’ Had to (sự bắt buộc)/ Must (chắc hẳn) She said (that) I had to go back before 10 She said she it must be wonderful to live there LƯU Ý: Should/ Ought to/ Could/ Might/ Would giữ nguyên lời nói gián tiếp Trong câu ví dụ, động từ want đổi thành dạng khứ wanted Câu tường thuật tạm thời đến bước là: I want to see this movie with my girlfriend tomorrow → Tom said that I wanted to see this movie with my girlfriend tomorrow Bước 3: Đổi đại từ nhân xưng, đại từ sở hữu tính từ sở hữu Khi Tom nói "Tơi muốn xem phim với bạn gái ngày mai", "tôi" ám đến Tom Vì vậy, thuật lại câu nói Tom, khơng thể thuật lại "tôi muốn xem phim" => "tôi" phải chuyển đổi thành "anh ấy" cho tương ứng Subject pronouns (Đại từ chủ ngữ) Object pronouns (Đại từ tân ngữ) Possessive adjectives (Tính từ sở hữu) Possessive pronouns (Đại từ sở hữu) Reflexive pronouns (Đại từ phản thân) Direct speech Reported speech I he/ she We They You (số ít) I/ he/ she You (số nhiều) they Me him/ her You (số ít) me/ him/ her You (số nhiều) them Us them My his/ her Our their Your (số ít) His/ her/ my Your (số nhiều) their Mine his/ hers Ours theirs Your (số ít) His/ her/ mine Your (số nhiều) theirs myself Himself/ herself ourselves themselves yourself Himself/ herself/ myself yourself themselves Như vậy, I đổi thành he, my đổi thành his Câu tường thuật tạm thời đến bước là: I want to see this movie with my girlfriend tomorrow → Tom said that he wanted to see this movie with his girlfriend tomorrow Bước 4: Đổi từ nơi chốn thời gian Vì tường thuật lại câu nói người khác, thường khơng cịn vị trí thời điểm người nói Direct speech Reported speech here there now then/ at that time today that day tonight that night yesterday the day before/ the previous day last (month) the previous month/ the month before next (month) the month after/ the following month/ the next month (two days) ago (two days) before tomorrow the day after/ the next day/ the following day/ the day after tomorrow two days after ago before this that these those Như vậy, this đổi thành that, tomorrow đổi thành the following day Cuối cùng, có câu tường thuật hồn chỉnh: I want to see this movie with my girlfriend tomorrow → Tom said that he wanted to see that movie with his girlfriend the following day Questions (Câu hỏi): Yes/No questions (Câu hỏi Yes/ No): Dùng từ tường thuật: asked, wondered, wanted to know, …(asked, wonderes, wanted to know are common reporting verbs) Thêm từ if hoặc whether trước câu hỏi (the verb is joined to the reported words with IF/ WHETHER – nếu/ liệu mà) Đổi lại vị trí chủ ngữ động từ / trợ động từ [S1 + asked… + (O) + if/ whether + S2 + V (lùi thì)] Eg: Lisa said to Ben "Did you see Tom this morning?" Chọn từ tường thuật: Lisa hỏi Ben nên dùng asked Ben Lùi động từ: did see thành had seen Đổi đại từ tính từ sở hữu: đổi you thành he Đổi từ nơi chốn thời gian: this morning -> that morning → Lisa asked Ben had he seen Tom that morning Bây giờ, ta làm thêm bước nữa: Thêm từ if whether trước câu hỏi: Lisa asked Ben if had he seen Tom that morning Hốn đổi vị trí chủ ngữ động từ / trợ động từ: had he seen thành he had seen → Lisa asked Ben if he had seen Tom that morning WH-questions (Câu hỏi có từ để hỏi - when/ what, how…) Giữ lại từ hỏi Đổi lại vị trí chủ ngữ động từ / trợ động từ Cũng dùng cấu trúc To + Verb chủ ngữ câu hỏi I [S1 + asked +(O) + WH + S2 + V (lùi thì)] Eg: Mary said: “Where can I find Lisa?” Chọn từ tường thuật: câu hỏi nên ta dùng từ asked (hỏi) Lùi động từ: can -> could Đổi đại từ tính từ sở hữu: đổi I thành he → Tom asked where could he find Lisa Bây giờ, ta làm thêm bước nữa: Giữ lại từ hỏi: giữ lại từ where Hốn đổi vị trí chủ ngữ động từ / trợ động từ: could he hoán đổi thành he could → Tom asked where he could find Lisa Ngoài ra, chủ ngữ câu hỏi I thì dùng To + Verb: Câu hỏi: Where can I find Lisa? Câu tường thuật 1: He asked where he could find Lisa Câu tường thuật 2: He asked where to find Lisa Commands (Câu mệnh lệnh) *Khẳng định: Told sb to st Eg: “Please wait for me here, Mary.” Tom said (yêu cầu) → Tom told Mary to wait for him there *Phủ định: Told sb NOT to st Eg: “Don’t talk in class” the teacher said to us → The teacher told us not to talk in class MỘT SỐ DẠNG CÂU TƯỜNG THUẬT ĐẶC BIỆT 41 Dạng đặc biệt với To-Infinitive Khi muốn thuật lại yêu cầu: Cấu trúc: Asked somebody (not) to something - Eg: “Please, don’t bring food in the car”, the driver said The driver asked me not to bring food in the car TH câu trực tiếp dạng câu hỏi yêu cầu bắt đầu Will/Would/Can/Could > áp dụng cấu trúc câu tường thuật - Eg: “Will you clean the room?”, my mother said My mother asked me to clean the room Khi muốn thuật lại lời khuyên: Cấu trúc: Advised somebody (not) to something - Eg: “You should study hard for the exam”, my friend said My friend advised me to study hard for the exam Trong trường hợp câu trực tiếp chứa cấu trúc “You’d better” hay “If I were you” bạn áp dụng cấu trúc câu tường thuật đặc biệt - Eg: “ You’d better study now”, she said She advised me to study then Khi muốn thuật lại lời hứa: Cấu trúc: Promised to something - Eg: “I will buy you a new car”, my husband said My husband promised to buy me a new car Khi muốn thuật lại lời đe dọa: Cấu trúc: Threatened to something - Eg: “Give me all your money or I’ll kill you”, said the robber The robber threatened to kill me if I didn’t give him all my money Khi muốn thuật lại lời cảnh báo: Cấu trúc: Warned somebody (not) to something - Eg: “Don’t move There’s a bomb”, he said He warned me not to move since there was a bomb Khi muốn thuật lại lời mời: Cấu trúc: Invited somebody to something - Eg: “Do you want to come to the party?”, my boyfriend said My boyfriend invited me to come to the party Khi muốn thuật lại lời nhắc nhở: Cấu trúc: Reminded somebody to something - Eg: “Don’t forget to close the window”, my father said My father reminded me to close the window Khi muốn thuật lại lời động viên: Cấu trúc: Encouraged somebody to something - Eg: “Keep going!
