一、学习目标

•        1.     掌握直接引语与间接引语的意义、功能及用法；

•        2.    进一步熟练过去时态（一般过去时、过去进行时）。

二、学习重点难点

•        1.直接引语（Direct Speech）是指原封不动的引用原话，把它放在引号内，例如：

•        Mother told me, “You should finish your homework first, then you can go out and play with your friends.”

•        They said, “We want to have a rest.”

•        间接引语（Reported Speech，又叫Indirect Speech）即用自己的话加以转述，被转述的话不放在引号内。上面两个例句变成间接引语应该是：

•        Mother told me that I should finish my homework first and then I could go out and play with my friends.

•        They said they wanted to have a rest.
