1.引语的过去进行时无须变化. 如:He said,"I was playing soccer at that time." → He said that he was playing soccer at that time. 2.原因很简单:直接引语的过去进行时,表明该句强调的是过去某个时刻正在进行的动作或延续的状态,它必然有一个明显的过去时间状语. 而如果直接引语有明显的过去时间状语时,变间接引语时,该句的时态无须任何变化. 补充:一般不会搞混,因为引语中的时间状语会有比较明显的区别进行提示. 何况就算是搞混了也无碍你对句子的理解. 如:He said,"I'm doing my homework now." →He said that he was doing his homework then. He said,"I was doing my homework at that time yesterday." →He said that he was doing his homework at that time the day before.
