このレッスンについて

英語の間接話法 · B1. 時制の後方移動を指定した問題では、現在形→過去形、現在進行形→過去進行形、現在完了形→過去完了形とします。過去形→過去完了形は指定がある場合に行います。過去完了形は通常そのままです。代名詞は今だれが話し、だれが聞いているかで決まります。

視点の変化をたどりながら、平叙文・疑問文・指示を間接話法にしてみましょう。

01過去の視点と人物の指し方

時制の後方移動を指定した問題では、現在形→過去形、現在進行形→過去進行形、現在完了形→過去完了形とします。過去形→過去完了形は指定がある場合に行います。過去完了形は通常そのままです。代名詞は今だれが話し、だれが聞いているかで決まります。

“I am busy.” → She said she was busy.

02間接疑問文は平叙文の語順に

疑問詞のある疑問文はasked+人+where/why/what time+主語+動詞にします。はい・いいえで答える疑問文はasked+人+if/whether+主語+動詞です。直接疑問文を作るためだけのdo/does/didは取り除きます。

“Where do you live?” → She asked where I lived.

03指示は不定詞で伝える

依頼はasked+人+to+動詞の原形、指示はtold+人+to+原形で伝えます。否定はnot to+原形です。to not+原形も文法的に可能です。丁寧な疑問文が依頼として働くこともあるため、表す働きを確認してから型を選びましょう。

“Please wait.” → She asked me to wait.

04実際の時と場所を保つ

tomorrowはthe next/following dayに、yesterdayはthe day beforeになることがあります。指す対象が変わればhere/theseをthere/thoseにする必要もあります。機械的な置き換えではありません。日付や場所を明示して意味を保つこともできます。

tomorrow → the next day (when the time reference changes)

05時制の後方移動は常に必須ではない

今も成り立つ事実は、現在形でも通常の時制の後方移動でも正しく表せる場合があります。報告動詞が現在形なら、現在の視点を保つことがよくあります。指定と異なる有効な視点は課題の条件に合わないだけで、必ずしも英語として誤りではありません。sayはsaid (to somebody)、tellはtold somebodyとなり、toldの後の人にtoは付けません。

“The Earth is round.” → He said the Earth is / was round.

06助動詞の意味を保つ

通常の過去の視点での報告では、canはcouldに、willはwouldになることがよくあります。should、could、would、mightは通常変えません。義務のmustはhad toにでき、mustのままの場合もあります。推量のmustを機械的にhad toにはしません。可能性のmayは、過去の報告では通常mightになります。

can → could · will → would · should → should

On Monday, Ben (he) spoke to Maya. Maya is reporting his words on Tuesday, using normal past-time backshift.

I am waiting for your email.

Maya: Ben told me that ...

  1. he was waiting for her email.
  2. I was waiting for his email.
  3. he had waited for my email.
  4. he was waiting for my email.
解答と解説を開く
he was waiting for my email.

指定された過去の視点ではam waitingをwas waitingにします。Benはheに、your emailは今Mayaが話しているためmy emailになります。

D02 · ウォームアップ

A visitor asked this at the station yesterday. Report it using normal past-time backshift.

Where does the shuttle stop?

The visitor asked where ...

  1. the shuttle stopped.
  2. the shuttle had stopped.
  3. did the shuttle stop.
  4. the shuttle stops.
解答と解説を開く
the shuttle stopped.

間接疑問文ではwhereを保ち、その後を主語+動詞にします。doesを取り除き、stopsをstoppedに後方移動します。

D03 · ウォームアップ

A caretaker gave a group a negative instruction. Keep the negative meaning.

Don't move the boxes.

The caretaker told us ...

  1. to move the boxes.
  2. not move the boxes.
  3. don't move the boxes.
  4. not to move the boxes.
解答と解説を開く
not to move the boxes.

否定の指示はtold+人+not to+原形です。notを落としてはいけません。

Lia (she) spoke on Monday 12 October. It is now Wednesday 14 October. Report her Monday plan with normal backshift.

I will send the file tomorrow.

On Monday, Lia said that ...

  1. she would send the file today.
  2. she had sent the file the following day.
  3. she would send the file the following day.
  4. she would send the file the following week.
解答と解説を開く
she would send the file the following day.

月曜のメッセージのtomorrowは火曜で、報告する水曜ではありません。willはwouldになります。on Tuesday 13 Octoberも正確な時の示し方です。

D05 · ウォームアップ

A guide said that the museum opens at ten. This timetable is still true. Compare Report 1: The guide said that the museum opens at ten. Report 2: The guide said that the museum opened at ten.

Which explanation is accurate?

  1. Report 2 proves that the museum no longer opens at ten.
  2. Both can be correct; Report 1 presents the timetable as still current.
  3. Only Report 2 is correct because every verb must change after said.
  4. Only Report 1 is correct because backshift is never allowed for facts.
解答と解説を開く
Both can be correct; Report 1 presents the timetable as still current.

現在形opensは今も正しい事実を保てます。後方移動したopenedも文法的に可能です。openedだけでは時刻表が変わった証拠になりません。

Noah (he) spoke yesterday. Use normal past-time backshift to report his ability at that time.

I can repair the lock.

Noah said that ...

  1. he could repair the lock.
  2. he had to repair the lock.
  3. he can repair the lock.
  4. he would repair the lock.
解答と解説を開く
he could repair the lock.

指定された報告では当時の能力を振り返るため、canをcouldにします。had toは能力ではなく義務を表します。

Nia (she) made this statement last week while she still had the job. She has since left it. Report it using normal past-time backshift.

I work at weekends.

Nia said that ...

  1. she worked at weekends.
  2. I worked at weekends.
  3. she had worked at weekends.
  4. she works at weekends.
解答と解説を開く
she worked at weekends.

過去の報告ではworkをworkedにします。had workedは、この現在形の発言には不要な、さらに前の過去との関係を加えます。

P02 · 理解を深める

Ava (she) made this statement yesterday. Complete the report using the past perfect.

I have finished the survey.

Ava said that she ...

解答と解説を開く
had finished the survey.

have finishedをhad finishedにします。文の書き出しにsheはすでにあります。 確認済みの解答だけを自動照合します。別の文法的視点はこの指示に合わない場合がありますが、未知の表現を自動的に誤りとはしません。

Omar (he) spoke to his colleague yesterday. For this exercise, backshift the past simple to the past perfect.

I left my keys at home.

Omar said that he ...

解答と解説を開く
had left his keys at home.

指定された変換はleft→had left、my→hisです。自然な報告では過去形を保てる場合もありますが、この問題では過去完了形を明示的に求めています。 確認済みの解答だけを自動照合します。別の文法的視点はこの指示に合わない場合がありますが、未知の表現を自動的に誤りとはしません。

Mira (she) asked Dan this yesterday. Dan is reporting her question now. Use normal backshift.

Are you using my charger?

Dan: Mira asked me ...

解答と解説を開く
if I was using her charger.

はい・いいえで答える疑問文にはifかwhetherが必要です。was IではなくI wasにします。myはMiraを指すため、Danの報告ではherになります。 確認済みの解答だけを自動照合します。別の文法的視点はこの指示に合わない場合がありますが、未知の表現を自動的に誤りとはしません。

ほかの正答例
  • whether I was using her charger.
  • if I was using Mira's charger.
  • whether I was using Mira's charger.
  • if I was using the charger she owned.
  • whether I was using the charger she owned.
  • whether or not I was using her charger.
  • whether or not I was using Mira's charger.

Yesterday a coach asked Leo (he) about an earlier departure. Backshift did leave to had left.

Why did you leave early?

The coach asked Leo why ...

  1. he has left early.
  2. had he left early.
  3. if he had left early.
  4. he had left early.
解答と解説を開く
he had left early.

間接疑問文ではhad he leftではなくhe had leftです。コーチは理由を聞いているのでwhyを残す必要があります。

On Tuesday, Reece asked Ivy (she) about an earlier event. Ivy is reporting the question. Keep the original past perfect.

Had you seen the notice before Monday?

Ivy: Reece asked me ...

解答と解説を開く
whether I had seen the notice before Monday.

whetherかifと平叙文の語順を使います。過去完了形は通常そのままで、さらに一段後方移動するわけではありません。 確認済みの解答だけを自動照合します。別の文法的視点はこの指示に合わない場合がありますが、未知の表現を自動的に誤りとはしません。

ほかの正答例
  • if I had seen the notice before Monday.
  • whether I had seen the notice before that Monday.
  • if I had seen the notice before that Monday.
  • whether or not I had seen the notice before Monday.

A caretaker politely requested this of Max. Report the request with the infinitive construction after asked Max.

Please close the side gate.

The caretaker asked Max ...

解答と解説を開く
to close the side gate.

依頼はasked+人+to+原形で伝えます。報告ではpleaseを省くことが多いものの、to please close the side gateも自然な丁寧表現として正答に含まれます。 確認済みの解答だけを自動照合します。別の文法的視点はこの指示に合わない場合がありますが、未知の表現を自動的に誤りとはしません。

ほかの正答例
  • to please close the side gate.
  • to close the side gate, please.

The supervisor told us not to touch the switch.

told usの後はnot to touchです。to not touchも文法的に正しいので、英語の誤りとは扱いません。 確認済みの解答だけを自動照合します。別の文法的視点はこの指示に合わない場合がありますが、未知の表現を自動的に誤りとはしません。

ほかの正答例
  • The supervisor told us to not touch the switch.

On Tuesday, Ella (she) spoke to you at the library entrance. On Wednesday you report it from home. Use normal backshift; Friday is still the intended meeting day.

I will meet you here on Friday.

Ella said that ...

  1. she would meet me there on Friday.
  2. she would meet me there the next day.
  3. she had met me there on Friday.
  4. she would meet me here on Friday.
解答と解説を開く
she would meet me there on Friday.

報告する場所が違うためhereをthereにします。Fridayは指す日が変わらないのでそのままです。

Finn (he) spoke to you on Monday 12 October. You report it on Wednesday 14 October. Use past perfect and keep the original event on Sunday 11 October.

I saw your tutor yesterday.

On Monday, Finn said that he ...

解答と解説を開く
had seen my tutor the day before.

Finnが月曜に話したyesterdayは日曜です。the day beforeや日曜の日付を明示すれば、その指し先を保てます。 確認済みの解答だけを自動照合します。別の文法的視点はこの指示に合わない場合がありますが、未知の表現を自動的に誤りとはしません。

ほかの正答例
  • had seen my tutor on Sunday 11 October.

An usher pointed at some seats in the theatre yesterday. You report it from home today. Use normal past-time backshift and identify the theatre seats without pretending you are pointing at them now.

These seats are reserved.

The usher said that ...

解答と解説を開く
those seats were reserved.

those seatsでもthe seatsでも劇場の座席を指せます。視点が変わればtheseが変わることがありますが、中立的な名詞句も正確です。 確認済みの解答だけを自動照合します。別の文法的視点はこの指示に合わない場合がありますが、未知の表現を自動的に誤りとはしません。

ほかの正答例
  • the seats were reserved.
  • the seats in the theatre were reserved.
  • those seats in the theatre were reserved.

A teacher said, "The school has a small library." The school still has it. You want to present that fact as current.

The school has a small library.

The teacher said that the school ...

解答と解説を開く
has a small library.

hasは今も成り立つ事実として示します。hadも過去の報告の視点では文法的に可能で、それだけで図書館がなくなったという意味にはなりません。この問題では現在の視点を求めています。 確認済みの解答だけを自動照合します。別の文法的視点はこの指示に合わない場合がありますが、未知の表現を自動的に誤りとはしません。

Violet (she) is still on the bus and has just sent this message. Report it immediately with the present reporting verb says.

I am on the bus now.

Violet says that she ...

解答と解説を開く
is on the bus now.

報告動詞が現在形で状況も続いているため、ここではisをwasに、nowをthenに変える理由がありません。 確認済みの解答だけを自動照合します。別の文法的視点はこの指示に合わない場合がありますが、未知の表現を自動的に誤りとはしません。

ほかの正答例
  • is on the bus right now.
  • is on the bus at the moment.

Yesterday, Ben spoke to Jo. Jo is reporting it today. The pool’s timetable is still current. Choose a grammatical report.

The pool is closed on Mondays.

Jo's report:

  1. Ben told to me that the pool is closed on Mondays.
  2. Ben told that the pool is closed on Mondays.
  3. Ben said me that the pool was closed on Mondays.
  4. Ben told me that the pool was closed on Mondays.
解答と解説を開く
Ben told me that the pool was closed on Mondays.

toldには聞き手の目的語が必要でtold meとします。saidはto meを取れますが、meを直接は取りません。told to meはこの標準的な型ではありません。時刻表が今も正しくてもwas closedという通常の後方移動は有効です。

P16 · 理解を深める

Eli (he) made this promise yesterday. Use normal backshift.

I will help Nora.

Eli said that ...

  1. he would help Nora.
  2. he had helped Nora.
  3. he had to help Nora.
  4. he could help Nora.
解答と解説を開く
he would help Nora.

wouldはEliの当時の視点から未来の約束を保ちます。couldでは能力や可能性に意味が変わります。

I must submit the form by Friday.

Lena said that she ...

解答と解説を開く
had to submit the form by that Friday.

had toは過去の義務を伝えます。that Fridayは元の締切を明示し、この文脈ではby Fridayも理解できます。別の報告ではmustを保てる場合もありますが、本問ではhad toを指定しています。推量のmustを機械的にhad toにはしません。 確認済みの解答だけを自動照合します。別の文法的視点はこの指示に合わない場合がありますが、未知の表現を自動的に誤りとはしません。
