1.1. Khái niệm câu tường thuật trong Tiếng Anh

Câu tường thuật (Reported speech) là loại câu được dùng để kể lại hoặc thuật lại điều gì đó mà người khác đã nói. Trong Tiếng Anh có 2 loại câu tường thuật:

• Câu tường thuật trực tiếp: Trích dẫn chính xác lời nói của ai đó trong dấu ngoặc kép.
• Câu tường thuật gián tiếp: Thuật lại lời nói của ai đó, thông thường sẽ có sự thay đổi về thì và một số từ ngữ để phản ánh ý nghĩa chính xác của lời nói ban đầu.

Ví dụ:

Câu trực tiếp: "I love learning languages," she said.

→ Câu gián tiếp: She said that she loved learning languages. (Cô ấy nói là cô ấy thích học ngôn ngữ.)

1.2. Các dạng câu tường thuật thường gặp

Ví dụ:
