Question 22. ‘T have never been to Russia. I think I shall go there next year.” said Bill.
Bill said that he had never been to Russia and he thought he would go there the next year.
Bill said that he would have never been to Russia and he thinks he would go there the next year.
Bill said that he had never been to Russia and he thinks he will go there the next year.
Bill said that he has never been to Russia and he thinks he would go there the next year.
Question 22. Đáp án A
Dịch câu đề bài: “Tôi chưa bao giờ đến Nga. Tôi nghĩ tôi sẽ đi đến đó vào năm tới” Bill nói.
Đáp án A đúng vì tuân thủ các quy tắc chuyển từ câu trực tiếp về câu gián tiếp: lùi các thì hiện tại về thì quá khứ tương ứng, chuyển các ngôi trực tiếp (I) về ngôi gián tiếp (he), và chuyển trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian “next year” thành “the next year”.
Ba đáp án còn lại sai vì chưa lùi thì của động từ “thinks” về thì quá khứ tương ứng.
* Mở rộng: Ở câu gián tiếp, các yếu tố về ngôi luôn luôn thay đổi so với câu trực tiếp. Tuy nhiên, các yếu tố còn lại như thì động từ, trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian, nơi chốn, và chỉ định chỉ thay đổi khi các động từ tường thuật “say/ tell” chia ở quá khứ. Nếu các động từ này được chia ở các thì hiện tại (tất cả các thì hiện tại) thì không có yếu tố nào được thay đổi trừ ngôi.
Ví dụ: My mother always says: “You have to clean up your table before you go back to your room”
→ My mother always says I have to clean up my table before I go back to my room, (câu gián tiếp chỉ thay đổi ngôi từ you → I vì động từ “say” chia ở hiện tại đơn).
