用whether…or…表達，而不用if…or…，也不用either…or…

→he asked me whether i spoke english or french. 
i asked, “will you take bus or take train?”
→i asked him whether he would take bus or take train.
二、在直接引語變為間接引語時需要注意的變化
1. 注意時態的變化     direct     indirect
present      past
past        past and past perfect
present perfect   past perfect
past perfect   past perfect
 2. 注意人稱變化。
3. 注意指示代詞的變化this, these(that, those)
4. 注意時間的變化 now, today,this week ,yesterday,last week ,four days ago ,the day before yesterday ,tomorrow ,next month(then, that day,that week,the day before ,the week before,four days before ,two days before ,the next day,the next month)
5. 注意地點的變化 here( there)
6. 注意個別趨向動詞的變化 come, bring (go, take)
三、謂語動詞時態變化需要注意幾點：
1.直接引語表述的是客觀真理，變為間接引語時，時態不變
the geography teacher said, “the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.”
the geography teacher told us that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
2. 如果直接引語所表述的內容在目前和說話時同樣有效，變間接引語時，時態可不變
the children said, “we love this game.”
