Transitive sentence is a sentence that transforms a direct sentence into an indirect speech, which is usually used in reports, interviews, lectures and other occasions. Transitive sentences need to pay attention to the changes of voice, tense, person and mood. The following pots and pans will introduce the methods and skills of transitive sentences.
1, keep the original intention unchanged: the most basic principle of transitive sentences is to keep the original intention unchanged, that is, the meanings of transitive sentences and direct sentences should be consistent and there should be no ambiguity. Therefore, when translating sentences, we should be careful not to miss important information or change the original meaning. He said, "I will come to your wedding." He said he would come to my wedding.
2. Temporal changes: the tense in transitive sentences is usually one tense later than that in direct sentences, that is, the verb tense in direct sentences is changed to past tense or future tense. He said, "I'm writing an article." He said that he was writing an article.
3. Change of person: When the subject in the direct speech is the first person or the second person, the person in the transitive sentence should also change accordingly. If the subject in the direct speech is the third person, the person in the transitive sentence does not need to be changed. He said, "I am too busy to come to your birthday party." He said he was too busy to come to my birthday party.
4. Change of mood: Transitive sentences are generally more objective and neutral than direct sentences, so pay attention to the change of mood. For example, the exclamation mark and question mark in the direct sentence are removed, and the declarative sentence becomes an indirect speech. Ex.: He said, "I'm so surprised!" He said he was surprised.
5. Use proper prepositions: In the transitive sentence, you need to use proper prepositions to express the meaning in the direct sentence, which can make the transitive sentence more accurate and clear. He said, "I have never seen such a sight." He said that he had never seen such a sight.
In short, we need to master certain skills and methods to transform direct sentences into transitive sentences. As long as you have a good command of language sense, methods and skills, and keep practicing and practicing, you will certainly be able to gradually improve your language expression ability.
