高一英语必修一知识点整理最全多篇

高一英语必修一知识点整理最全多篇

高一英语必修一知识点整理最全多篇高一英语必修一知识点总结1一. 直接引语和间接引语(一)直接引述别人的原话，叫做直接引语;用自己话转述别人的话，叫做间接引语。

间接引语一般构成宾语从句。

直接引语必须放在引号内，间接引语则不用引号。

直接引语改为间接引语时，除将引语部分变成宾语从句外，还必须对直接引语中的人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等进行改变。

1. 时态的变化：直接引语变为间接引语时，通常受转述动词said, asked等的影响而使用过去化的时态，即把原来的时态向过去推，也就是一般现在时变为一般过去时，现在进行时变为过去进行时，等等。

例如：Tom sai d to me,“My brother is doing his homework.”→Tom said to me that his brother was doing his homework.2. 人称代词、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等等的变化：根据意义进行相应的变化，例如：She asked Jack,“Where have you been?”→She asked Jack where he had been.He said,“These books are mine.”→He said that those books were his.(二)直接引语改为间接引语时，都使用陈述语序，但是因为原句的句式不同，所以变成间接引语时所用的连词会有所不同。

直接引语如果是一般疑问句，用连接词whether或if;如果是特殊疑问句，则用疑问词引导间接引语。

转述的动词一般用asked，可以在其后加上一个间接宾语me, him, her, us等。

如：She said,“Is your father at home?”→S he asked me if/whether my father was at home.“What do you do every Sunday?”My friend asked me.→My friend asked me what I did every Sunday.直接引语如果是祈使句，改为间接引语时，要将祈使句的动词原形变为带to的不定式，并在不定式的前面根据原句的语气(即请求或命令)加上ask, tell, order等动词，如果祈使句为否定式，则在不定式前加not。

①.His mother said to me, “He can't go to school.”
→His mother told me that he couldn't go to school. ②.Mr Smith said, "Jack’s brother is a good worker."
原封不动地引用 原话，把原话放 在引号内
用自己的话加 以转述，被转 述的内容不放 在引号内
直接引语变间接引语的三种类型
1 陈述句 直接引语如果是陈述句，变为
间接引语时，语序不变，且为连词that引导 的宾语从句（that在口语中常省略），如 • He said, “I like reading adventure stories.” → He said that he liked reading adventure stories.
过去进行时
He said, “I'm writing a letter.” → He said that he was writing a letter.
③.She said, “Your pronunciation is better than his.” →She told me that my pronunciation was better than
his.
3).“第三人称无变化”是指引号内的主语及宾 语是第三人称或被第三人称修饰，变间接 引语时，人称一般不需要变化。如：
直接引语
间接引语
The boy said ,“ I’m reading a book.”
Direct speech 直接引语
The boy said (that) he was reading a book.

Unit1 Friendship语法直接引语和间接引语概念引入：我们先看下面的句子：1.John said, “I'm going to London with my father.”约翰说：“我要和父亲到伦敦去。

”2.She said, "Do you often come here to read newspapers?"她说：“你经常来这儿看报吗？3.I asked him, "Will you stay at home or go to a film tonight?"我问他：“你今晚是待在家还是去看电影？”从上述例句看出：引号内是直接引用别人的原话，这种句子为直接引语。

1.John said that he was going to London with his father.约翰说，他要和他父亲去伦敦。

2.She asked me if (whether)I often went there to read newspapers.她问我是否经常去那儿看报。

3.I asked him whether he would stay at home or go to a film that night.我问他那天晚上是待在家还是去看电影。
