英語雙引號裏的話語,在英語語法上叫“直接引語”。雙引號中句子謂語動詞使用什麼時態,根據說話人反映當時的時間爲準,可以使用任何時態。例如:He said to me,“I often play basketball ”(他對我說,“我經常打籃球”),引語中的謂語動詞使用一般現在時,因爲說話人強調often(經常)。
再如,“Did you go shopping yesterday”Kate asked.(凱特問到:“你昨天去購物了嗎”)說話人強調的是昨天的事,故引語中謂語動詞使用一般過去時。
引號中的句子沒有時態限制,該用什麼時態用什麼時態。如:
He said, " His father died in an accident."
The teacher asked,"How far is it from the earth to the moon?"
My mother asked me,"Have you finished your homework?"
