直接引语改间接引语的方法：
一是引用别人的原话，把它放在引号内，称为直接引语；
二是用自己的话加以转述，被转述的话不放在引号内，称为间接引语。间接引语在大多数情况下是一个宾语从句。
直接引语变成间接引语时，要注意以下几点：人称变化、时态变化、宾语从句要用陈述句语序等。
1、直接引语是陈述句，变成间接引语时，由连词that 引导。例如：
She said, “I am very happy to be with you.” →She said (that) she was very happy to be with me.
2、直接引语是一般疑问句时，变成间接引语，由连词whether或if 引导。例如：
He asked me, “Do you like watching TV?”→He asked me if/whether I liked watching TV.
3、直接引语是特殊疑问句，变成间接引语时，由相应的连接词who, whom, what, whose, how, when, why, where 等引导。例如：
Tom asked me, “Who is the boy over there?”→Tom asked me, “Who was the boy over there?”
4、直接引语是祈使句，其间接引语由主语+动词ask(委婉语气)，tell(一般语气)，order (命令语气)或warn, advise等+复合宾语(名/代词+动词不定式)构成。如：
“Be careful with the dog.”→He warned me to be careful with the dog.
5、直接引语变间接引语时，如果引述动词为过去式，需注意时态的变化：如：
Betty said, “Lingling is singing in the classroom now.” 现在进行时→
Betty said Lingling was singing in the class room then.-过去进行时

直接引语改间接引语的注意事项：
要注意在以下几种情况下。在直接引语变为间接引语时，时态一般不变化。
1、直接引语是客观真理。
"The earth moves around the sun and the moon moves around the earth, the teacher told me. → The teacher told me the earth moves around the sun and the moon moves around the earth。
2、直接引语是过去进行时，时态不变。如：
Jack said. “John, where were you going when I met you in the street?” →Jack asked John where he was going when he met him in the street。
3、直接引语中有具体的过去某年、某月、某日作状语，变为间接引语时，时态不变。如：
Xiao Wang said. "I was born on April 20, 1980。" →Xiao Wang said he was born on April 20, 1980。
4、直接引语如果是一般现在时。表示一种反复出现或习惯性的动作，变间接引语，时态不变。如：
He said, "I get up at six every morning。" →He said he gets up at six every morning。
5、如果直接引语中的情态动词没有过去时的形式（例：ought to， had better, used to)和已经是过去时的形式时，（例：could, should, would, might）不再变。如：
Peter said. "You had better come have today。" →Peter said I had better go there that day。
