Tổng quát về câu tường thuật
Trong tiếng Anh, chúng ta có 2 loại câu, đó là câu trực tiếp và câu gián tiếp.
Câu trực tiếp (Direct Speech) nhằm thể hiện lại chính xác lời nói của người nào đó và nằm giữa dấu ngoặc kép (trích dẫn).
Ví dụ: “I always walk to school.” Linda said. (“Tôi luôn đi bộ đến trường.” Linda nói.)
Câu gián tiếp (Indirect Speech) hay câu tường thuật – Reported Speech, là loại câu sử dụng nhằm mục đích thuật lại nội dung của lời nói trực tiếp.
Ví dụ: Linda said that she always walked to school. (Linda nói rằng cô ấy luôn đi bộ đến trường.)
Ngôi và thì trong câu tường thuật
Nếu động từ của mệnh đề tường thuật sử dụng ở thì hiện tại thì khi đổi sang câu gián tiếp thì chúng ta chỉ đổi ngôi; không đổi thì của động từ và trạng từ.
Ví dụ: “I like listening to music.” Helen says.
=> Helen says that she likes listening to music.
Nếu động từ của mệnh đề tường thuật sử dụng ở thì quá khứ thì khi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp chúng ta sẽ đổi ngôi, thì của động từ, trạng từ chỉ thời gian và nơi chốn.
Ví dụ: “I like listening to music.” Helen said.
=> Helen said that she liked listening to music.
Thay đổi ngôi (Đại từ nhân xưng, Tính từ sở hữu và Đại từ sở hữu)
Ngôi thứ nhất: dựa vào chủ từ của mệnh đề trong câu tường thuật; thường đổi sang ngôi thứ ba
- I → he / she
- Me → him / her
- My → his / her
- We → they
- Us → them
- Our → their
Ngôi thứ hai: (You, your)
Xét về mặt ý nghĩa của câu và đổi cho phù hợp, chúng ta thường đổi dựa vào túc từ (tân ngữ – object) của mệnh đề tường thuật.
Ngôi thứ ba (He/ She/ Him/ Her/ His/ They/ Them/ Their): giữ nguyên
Thay đổi những trạng từ chỉ thời gian và nơi chốn
| DIRECT | INDIRECT |
| Now Here This These Today Tonight Yesterday Last year Tomorrow Next month Ago | Then There That Those That day That night The day before/ the previous day The year before/ the previous year The following day/ the next day/ the day after The following month/ the next month/ the month after Before |
Thay đổi về thì trong câu

| Present Simple – V1/ Vs(es) Ví dụ: “I always drink milk.”, Anna said. | Past Simple – V-ed/ V2 Ví dụ: Anna said that she always drank coffee. |
| Present Continuous – am/ is/ are + V-ing Ví dụ: “I am reading a book”, John told Anna. | Past Continuous – was/ were + V-ing Ví dụ: John told Anna that he was reading a book. |
| Present Perfect – have/ has + P.P/ V3 Ví dụ: “I have been to Tokyo.”, he told me. | Past Perfect – had + P.P/ V3 Ví dụ: He told me that he had been to Tokyo. |
| Present Perfect Continuous – have/ has been +V-ing Ví dụ: complained: “We have been waiting for days.” | Past Perfect Continuous – had been + V-ing Ví dụ: They complained that they had been waiting for days. |
| Past Simple – V2/ -ed Ví dụ: “I arrived yesterday.”, he said. | Past Perfect – had + P.P/ V3 Ví dụ: He said that he had arrived the day before. |
| Past Continuous – was/ were + V-ing Ví dụ: “We were living in Paris at that time.”, my parents told me. | Past Perfect Continuous – had been +V-ing Ví dụ: My parents told me that they had been living in Paris at that time. |
| Past Perfect – had + P.P/ V3 Ví dụ: “I had just closed the door.” She explained. | Past Perfect – had + P.P/ V3 Ví dụ: She explained that she had just closed the door. |
| Simple future – will + V Ví dụ: “I‘ll see you next month.” Kate told me. | Present conditional – would + V Ví dụ: Kate told me that she would see me the following month. |
| Future Continuous will be + V-ing Ví dụ: She said, “I‘ll be staying at my grandma’s next Friday.” | Conditional continuous – would be + V-ing Ví dụ: She said that she would be staying at her grandma’s next Friday. |
Lưu ý: Những modal verbs này không thay đổi khi chuyển câu: might, could, would, should, ought to
