REPORTED QUESTIONS

To report a question, use expressions like, "He asked me...." amd "She wanted to know...."


When reporting questions, it is especially important to pay attention to sentence order. ((((For YES/NO questions - use IF: )))  When reporting questions using question words (why, where, when, etc.) use the question word.




For example:

• She asked, "Do you want to come with me?" (It's a Yes/N question right..?)
• She asked me if I wanted to come with her.
• Deniz asked, "Where did you go last weekend?" (It's a question word - where)
• Deniz asked me where I had gone the previous weekend.
• He asked, "Why are you studying English?" (again a question word - why)
•  She asked me why I was studying English.
