(2). 如果引述動詞為現在時形式，則間接引語中的動詞時態，代詞，限定詞和表示時間或地點的副詞不用變化。而如果引述動詞是過去時，以上內容就要有相應變化。變化情況如下：
現在時間推移到過去的時間，即一般現在時變為一般過去時；
“i feel better today.” he said.
“我今天感覺好多了。”他說。
→he said that he felt better that day.
他說他那天感覺好多了。
現在進行時變為過去進行時；
“xiao ming is doing some washing” mum said.
“小明正在洗衣服。”媽媽說。
→mum said that xiao ming was doing some washing.
媽媽說小明正在洗衣服。
