把 "If I were you, I would...." 改寫成 reported speech

 

把直接談話內容改寫成 reported speech / indirect speech 是中學（甚至小學）考試常常出現的問題之一。今天我們看看一個比較特別的例子：

"If I were you, I would buy a house," said Peter. 

你會如何把以上的內容改寫成 reported speech 呢?

我們可以利用 advise (建議)這個動詞： 

Peter advised me to buy a house. 

看看以下例子： 

"If I were you, I'd ask for a compensation," said Mary. 

我們可以把它改寫成：  

Mary advised me to ask for a compensation.

He said, "If I were you, I'd leave at once."  

可以改成： 

He advised me to leave at once.
