7. (out-of-date) “If I go to my friend’s house for dinner tonight, I will bring a bottle of wine or some flowers,” Lily said.
→ _________________________________________________________Đáp án: Lily said (that) if she went to her friend’s house for dinner that night, she would bring a bottle of wine or some flowers.
Giải thích: “If I go to my friend’s house for dinner tonight, I will bring a bottle of wine or some flowers,” Lily said. (“Nếu tối nay tôi đến nhà bạn của mình ăn tối, tôi sẽ mang một chai rượu hoặc một vài bông hoa.” Lily nói.) Câu trực tiếp là câu điều kiện loại 1 và thuộc trường hợp “out-of-date” (không còn đúng nữa) nên ta cần lùi thì của động từ khi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp, câu điều kiện loại 1 sẽ trở thành câu điều kiện loại 2. Bên cạnh đó, ta cũng cần biến đổi chủ ngữ “I” thành “she”, tính từ sở hữu “my” thành “her” và trạng từ chỉ thời gian “tonight” thành “that night”.
Dịch nghĩa: Lily nói rằng nếu cô ấy đến nhà bạn của mình ăn tối vào tối hôm đó, cô sẽ mang theo một chai rượu hoặc một vài bông hoa.
