50. “So + be／have／助动词／情态动词＋主词”的结构。此结构中的语序是倒装的，“So”代替上句中的某个成分。如果上面一句是否定句，则使用“Neither/Nor+be/have/助动词/情态动词+主语”的结构。

A: I went to the park yesterday．

B: So did I．(＝I also went to the park yesterday．)

 

51.“So +主语+be／have／助动词／情态动词”结构中的主谓是正常语序，so相当于indeed,certainly,表示说话人对前面或对方所说情况的肯定、赞同或证实，语气较强，意思是“确实如此”。

 

A：It was cold yesterday．昨天很冷。

B：So it was．的确如此。(＝Yes，it was．)

A：You seem to like sports．

B：So I do．(＝Yes，I do．)

A：It will be fine tomorrow．

B：So it will．(＝Yes ，it will．)

 

52.“主语+do/does/did + so”结构指的是按上句的要求做了。此句型中do so代替上文中要求做的事，以免重复。

 

My Chinese teacher told me to hand in my composition on time and I did so.(=I handed inmy composition on time.) 

语文老师叫我按时交作文, 我照办了。

 

53. So it is with…或 It is the same with…句型表示 “……(的情况)也是如此。”当前面的句子中有几种不同形式的谓语时，要表示相同情况，必须使用本句型，不能使用so 引起的倒装句。

59. 直接引语和间接引语

 

（1）直接引语在改为间接引语时，时态需要做相应的调整。

eg: “I broke your CD player.” (一般过去时改成过去完成时)

He told me he had broken my CD player.

Jenny said, “I have lost a book.”

(现在完成时改成过去完成时)

Jenny said she had lost a book.

Mum said, “I’ll go to see a friend.”

(一般将来时改成过去将来时)

Mum said she would go to see a friend.

过去完成时保留原有的时态

He said, “We hadn’t finished our homework.”

He said they hadn’t finished their homework.

注意 直接引语是客观真理，过去进行时，时态不变。

 

（2）在直接引语变间接引语时，如果从句中的主语时第一人称或被第一人称所修饰，从句中的人称要按照主句中主语的人称变化。如：

Mary said, “My brother is an engineer.”

Mary said her brother was and engineer.

 

（3）直接引语如果是反意疑问句，选择疑问句或一般疑问句，间接引语应改为由whether或if引导的宾语从句。如：

He said, “Can you run, Mike?”

He asked Mike whether/if he could run.

 

（4）直接引语如果是祈使句，间接引语应改为“tell(ask, order, beg等)  (not) to do sth.”句型。如：

“Pass me the water, please.”said he.

He asked him to pass her the water.

 

（5）直接引语如果是以“Let’s”开头的祈使句，变为间接引语时，通常用“suggest+动名词或从句”的结构。如：

She said, “Let’s go to the cinema.”

She suggested going to the cinema.

或She suggested that they should go to the cinema.

 

60. 现在进行时表将来的动作

 

现在进行时表将来的动作，谓语通常为瞬间动词。如：come, go, arrive, leave, start, return, stay, meet, get等。这些动词的进行时后不能再接具体的时间。

（1）用现在进行时表示将来，指的是近期的，按计划或安排要发生的动作。

 

（2）现在进行时表示将来与表示正在进行的动作的区别在于：前者通常用瞬间动词（有时一些常用动词也可以这样用如：do）如：go, come, start, return, get, arrive等。而后者通常是持续性动词。

The train is arriving soon. 

火车就要进站了。

He is reading a novel. 

他在看小说。

 

（3）用现在进行时表示将来的时间，在句中或上下文中通常有表示将来时间的状语。

 

（4）现在进行时与一般现在时表示将来动作的区别在于：前者表示的将来的动作往往是可以改变的，而后者则是根据规定或时间表预计要发生的动作或事情，因此往往是不可改变或不可随便改变的。
