50 Bài tập Câu tường thuật lớp 8 

I. Lý thuyết

1. Định nghĩa

- Câu trực tiếp: Câu trực tiếp là lời nói xuất phát trực tiếp từ người nói và thường được đặt trong dấu ngoặc kép.

Ví dụ: "I am hungry", Bob said.

- Câu gián tiếp: Câu gián tiếp hay còn gọi là câu tường thuật là thuật lại lời nói của người khác, không thuật lại đầy đủ các từ ngữ nhưng ý nghĩa vẫn giữ nguyên và không nằm trong dấu ngoặc kép.

Ví dụ: Bob said he was very hungry.

2. Cách biến đổi câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp (câu tường thuật)

*Những thay đổi về thì của động từ

Thì ở câu trực tiếp	Thì ở câu gián tiếp
1. Hiện tại đơn (Simple Present) Ex: “I work for a post office”, she said.	Quá khứ đơn (Simple Past) She said she worked for a post office.
2. Hiện tại tiếp diễn (Present Continuous) Ex: “I am feeling ill” Tom said to me	Quá khứ tiếp diễn (Past Continuous) Tom told me that he was feeling ill.
3. Hiện tại hoàn thành (Present Perfect) Ex: Tom said: “I haven’t done it”	Quá khứ hoàn thành (Past Perfect) Tom said he hadn’t done it
4. Hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn Ex: “I’ve been waiting for 2 hours”, Jack said	Quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn Jack said he had been waiting for 2 hours.
5. Quá khứ đơn (Simple Past) Ex: “I didn’t do it”, he said.	Quá khứ hoàn thành (Past Perfect) He said he hadn’t done it
6. Quá khứ tiếp diễn (Past Continuous) Ex: “I was lying”, he said.	Quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn ( Past perfect Continuous) He said he had been lying
7. Quá khứ hoàn thành (Past Perfect) Ex: “I had already done my homework”, Bob said.	Quá khứ hoàn thành (Past Perfect) Ex: Bob said he had already done his homework.
8.Tương lai đơn (Simple Future) Ex: “I’ll buy it”, Tom said.	Tương lai ở quá khứ (Future in the past) Tom would buy it.

* Lưu ý: Có 1 số trường hợp không thể thực hiện lùi thì khi chuyển từ câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp trong tiếng Anh:

- Nếu động từ tường thuật chia ở thì hiện tại, khi chuyển từ câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp, động từ chính và các trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn/ thời gian được giữ nguyên không đổi

Ví dụ: My sister says: “I’m going to the supermarket.”

→ My sister says she is going to the supermarket.

- Nếu diễn tả một sự thật hiển nhiên

Ví dụ: He said: “The Sun sets in the West.”

→ He said that the Sun sets in the West.

- Câu điều kiện loại II và loại III.

Ví dụ: “If I were you, I would not say that.” she said

→ She said that if she were me, she would not say that.

- Cấu trúc “Wish + quá khứ đơn/ quá khứ hoàn thành”

Ví dụ: “I wished I lived in Berlin.” Jane said.

→ Jane said she wished she lived in Berlin.

- Cấu trúc “It’s time somebody did something”

Ví dụ: “It’s time he did the washing-up.” his mother said.

→ His mother said it was time he did the washing-up.

Ngoài ra, còn có một số thay đổi với các động từ khiếm khuyết (modal verbs)

Câu trực tiếp	Câu gián tiếp
Can	Could
Must/ have to	Had to
May	Might
Will	Would
Shall/ Should	Should
Needn’t	Didn’t have to

*Thay đổi đại từ:

Câu trực tiếp	Câu gián tiếp
I	He/ she
We/ you	They
You (nếu là chủ ngữ)	They/ I/ he/ she
Me	Him/ her
Us	Them
You (nếu là tân ngữ)	Them/ me/ him/ her

- Đại từ sở hữu:

Câu trực tiếp	Câu gián tiếp
My	His/ her
Our	Their
Your	Their/ my/ his/ her
Mine	His/ hers
Ours	Theirs
Yours	Theirs/ mine/ his/ hers

- Đại từ this/ that, these/ those

+ “These, those” có thể đổi thành “that/ them”

Ví dụ: Mary said: “This is the first time I’ve broken my arm.”

→ Mary said that it was the first time she had broken her arm.

3. Tường thuật câu kể (Statements)

S1 + say(s)/ said (that)+ S2 + verb

S1 + tell(s)/ told + O + (that) + S2 + verb

Ví dụ: “I feel really fed up with my job.” said Susan.

→ Susan said that she felt really fed up with her job.

→ Susan told me that she felt really fed up with her job.

4. Tường thuật câu hỏi

*Câu hỏi Yes/No: S + asked/ wanted to know/ wondered + if/ weather+ S + V

- Thêm If/ Whether để mở đầu cho mệnh đề tường thuật.

- Trật từ câu hỏi (động từ trước chủ ngữ) chuyển thành trật tự câu kể (chủ ngữ + động từ). Bỏ do/does/did nếu có, đổi thì của động từ trong mệnh đề tường thuật lùi về quá khứ một thì và thay đổi các yếu tố khác như địa từ, sở hữu, tân ngữ, các từ chỉ thời gian, nơi chốn,…

Ví dụ: “Are you angry?” he asked. → He asked if/whether I was angry.

*Wh-questions (Câu hỏi có từ để hỏi: what, where, when, how…)

S + asked (+O)/ wanted to know/ wondered + what/ who/…. + S+V

- Không dùng If/ Whether mà dùng lại các từ để hỏi sẵn có (what/ where/ when,…) để mở đầu cho mệnh đề tường thuật.

- Các biến đổi khác thực hiện giống như khi tường thuật câu hỏi Yes/No

Ví dụ: “What are you talking about?” said the teacher.

→ The teacher asked us what we were talking about.

5. Tường thuật câu mệnh lệnh, cầu khiến, khuyên bảo, đe dọa, lời mời, ngỏ ý …

*Khẳng định:

S + told/ asked/ advised/ reminded/ agree/ offer/ refuse... + O + to-V

Ví dụ: “Please wait for me here, Mary.” Tom said. (yêu cầu)

→ Tom told Mary to wait for him there.

*Phủ định:

S + told/ asked/ advised/ reminded/ agree + O + NOT to-V

Ví dụ: “Don’t talk in class” the teacher said to us. → The teacher told us not to talk in class.

6. Tường thuật lời đề nghị

S + suggested + ( someone ) + V_ing

Ví dụ: “Why don’t you send her some flowers?” he said.

→ He suggested me sending her some flowers.

7. Tường thuật với câu điều kiện

Nếu trong lời nói trực tiếp có câu điều kiện, thì chỉ có câu điều loại I là có sự thay đổi về THÌ, hai loại câu điều kiện còn lại thì vẫn giữ nguyên hình thức động từ của chúng.

Ví dụ: “If I have a time, I will visit her,” he said.

→ He said that if he had time, he would visit her.
