直接引述别人的原话叫直接引语；用说话人自己的话转述别人的话，叫间接引语。不论直接引语还是间接引语都应有一个动词引述，比如：say, tell, ask ，think, write, reply等。 直接引语一般放在引号中，句首的第一个字母大写。间接引语不用引号，间接引语在多数情况下构成宾语从句。
直接引语变间接引语时人称代词和物主代词要根据转述人的立场作相应的变动。
◆She said：“I’m coming.””
◆She said that she was coming.
直接引语变间接引语时直接引语中第三人称不变。
◆“When will he come?” she asked .
◆She asked when he would come .
