Lý thuyết và 432 Bài tập về Câu gián tiếp 
CÂU TƯỜNG THUẬT 
(Reported speech) 
I- PHÂN BIỆT CÂU TRỰC TIẾP VÀ CÂU GIÁN TIẾP 
Câu trực tiếp Câu gián tiếp 
- Câu trực tiếp là câu nói của ai đó được trích 
dẫn lại nguyên văn và thường được để trong 
dấu ngoặc kép (“ ”). 
Ví dụ: 
+ Mary said “ I don’t like ice-cream”. (Cô ấy 
nói rằng: “Tôi không thích kem”.) 
Ta thấy trong dấu ngoặc kép là lời nói trực tiếp 
của Mary và nó được trích dẫn lại một cách 
nguyên văn. 
- Câu gián tiếp là câu tường thuật lại lời nói của 
người khác theo ý của người tường thuật và ý 
nghĩa không thay đổi. 
Ví dụ: 
+ Mary said that she didn’t like ice-cream. 
(Mary nói cô ấy không thích kem.) 
Ta thấy câu nói của Mary được tường thuật lại 
theo cách nói của người tường thuật và ý nghĩa 
thì vẫn giữ nguyên. 
II- CÁC CÁCH TƯỜNG THUẬT TỪ CÂU NÓI TRỰC TIẾP SANG CÂU NÓI GIÁN TIẾP 
Ta cần phân tích cấu trúc của câu trực tiếp và câu gián tiếp qua các ví dụ sau: 
- My mother said “I want you to study harder.” (Mẹ tôi nói “Mẹ muốn con học hành chăm chỉ 
hơn.) 
Ta có: - Động từ “said” được gọi là “Động từ giới thiệu” 
 - Động từ “want” là động từ chính trong câu trực tiếp. 
 - “I” là chủ ngữ trong câu trực tiếp 
 - “you” là tân ngữ trong câu trực tiếp 
- My mother said / told me that she wanted me to study harder. (Mẹ tôi nó bà ấy muốn tôi học 
hành chăm chỉ hơn) 
Ta thấy các thành phần như “động từ giới thiệu”, động từ chính, các đại từ (I/you/) trong câu 
trực tiếp khi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp đều phải biến đổi. 
Vậy những thành phần nào cần biến đổi, và biến đổi như thế nào, ta sẽ đi vào từng loại câu cụ thể. 
1. Các thành phần cần biến đổi trong câu gián tiếp: 
* Các đại từ: Ta cần thay đổi đại từ sao cho phù hợp với ngữ cảnh trong câu 
 * Thay đổi thì của câu: 
Thì của các động từ trong lời nói gián tiếp thay đổi theo một nguyên tắc chung là lùi về quá khứ 
Câu trực tiếp Câu gián tiếp 
Hiện tại đơn -> Quá khứ đơn 
Hiện tại tiếp diễn -> Quá khứ tiếp diễn 
Hiện tại hoàn thành -> Quá khứ hoàn thành 
Quá khứ đơn -> Quá khứ hoàn thành

Quá khứ tiếp diễn -> Quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn 
Tương lai đơn: will/ shall -> would/ should 
Tương lai gần: be going to -> was/were going to 
* Thay đổi một số động từ khuyết thiếu: 
Trực tiếp Gián tiếp 
can could 
will would 
shall should 
must had to 
may might 
* Thay đổi Đại từ 
Các đại từ nhân xưng và đại sở hữu khi chuyển từ lời nóitr ực tiếp sang lời nói gián tiếp thay đổi như bảng sau: 
Đại từ Câu trực tiếp Câu gián tiếp 
Đại từ nhân xưng I he/she 
we they 
you they/I/he/her 
me him/her 
us them 
you them/me/him/her 
Đại từ sở hữu my her/his 
our their 
your them/my/his/her 
mine his/hers

Đại từ chỉ định this that 
these those

* Các trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn, thời gian: 
Trực tiếp Gián tiếp 
Here 
Now 
Today 
Ago 
Tomorrow 
The day after tomorrow 
Yesterday 
The day before 
yesterday 
Next week 
Last week 
Last year 
There 
Then 
That day 
Before 
The next day / the following day 
In two day’s time / two days after 
The day before / the previous day 
Two day before 
The following week 
The previous week / the week 
before 
The previous year / the year before 
 2. Khi trong dấu ngoặc kép là một câu trần thuật (là một câu khẳng định và mang nghĩa kể 
lại, trần thuật lại điều gì đó). 
- Ta cần biến đổi các đại từ cho phù hợp với ý nghĩa của câu 
- Các động từ giới thiệu thường dùng là: say (that), tell sb (that) 
* Nếu động từ giới thiệu chia ở các thì hiện tại, hoặc tương lai: 
-> ta không cần lùi thì động từ chính trong câu gián tiếp 
Ví dụ: 
- She says “I don’t want to stay at home every day.” 
-> She says / tells me that she doesn’t want to stay at home every day. 
Ta thấy trong dấu ngoặc kép là một câu trần thuật, và động từ giới thiệu “says” chia thì hiện tại 
đơn nên động từ trong câu trực tiếp không lùi thì (giữ nguyên thì) trong câu gián tiếp. Các đại từ 
cần thay đổi cho phù hợp nghĩa là: I -> she 
* Nếu động từ giới thiệu chia ở các thì quá khứ: 
-> Ta cần lùi thì động từ chính trong câu gián tiếp 
Ví dụ: 
- She said “My father is travelling in America”. 
-> She said that her father was travelling in America. 
Ta thấy động từ giới thiệu “said” chia quá khứ đơn nên động từ trong câu trực tiếp (chia ở hiện tại 
tiếp diễn) phải lùi thì trong câu gián tiếp (thì quá khứ tiếp diễn). 
3. Khi trong dấu ngoặc kép là câu hỏi. 
* Nếu trong dấu ngoặc kép là câu hỏi không có từ hỏi. 
-> Trong câu gián tiếp thêm “if” hoặc “whether” và mệnh đề theo sau biến đổi về dạng khẳng định. 
-> Động từ giới thiệu thường sử dụng: ask, wonder 
Ví dụ: 
- She said “Do you want to go with me?” 
-> She asked if I wanted to go with her. 
- Mary said “Do you go to school by bus, Peter?” 
-> Mary asked Peter whether he went to school by bus. 
* Nếu trong dấu ngoặc kép là câu hỏi có từ hỏi (what/where/when/how/who/)

-> Động từ giới thiệu thường sử dụng: ask, wonder, want to know 
Ví dụ: 
- He asked “what time will you come?” 
-> He asked what time I would come. 
3. Khi trong dấu ngoặc kép là câu mệnh lệnh thức. 
-> Ta xét nghĩa của câu rồi sử dụng các cấu trúc cho phù hợp. 
* Khi câu mệnh lệnh thức trong dấu ngoặc kép mang nghĩa yêu cầu, đề nghị ai đó làm gì ta 
có thể sử dụng các cấu trúc sau: 
- tell/ ask/ require/ request/ demand + sb + to do st: Yêu cầu, đề nghị hay đòi hỏi ai làm gì.

-> He offered to make me a cup of coffee.
