Indirect speech: Question in indirect speech: 1. When we turn direct question into reported speech, the following changes are necessary. Tenses, pronouns and possesive adj, and adv of time and place change as in statements. The interrogative form of the verb changes to the affirmative form. The question mark (?) is therefore omitted in the indirect speech question: Ex: He said, "Where does she live?" ~~> He asked where she lived. "What happened?" she said ~~> She asked what had happened 2. If the introductory verb is say, it must be changed to a verb of inquiry, eg: ask, inquire, wonder, want to know... Ex: He said, "Where is the station?" ~~> He asked where the station was. ask, wonder, inquire can also b used in indirect speech. They r then usually placed at the end of the sentense. Ex: "Where is the station? " heinquired. 3. Ask can be followed by the person addressed (indirect O) Ex: He asked: "What have you got in your bag?" ~~> He asked (me) what I have got in my bag.

But inquire, wonder, want to know cannot take an indirect O so if we want to report a question where the person addressed is mentioned, we must use ask. Ex: He said: "Mary, When is the next train?" ~~> He asked Mary when the next train. If we use inquire, wonder, want to know we must omit Mary. 4. If the direct question begins with a question word (when, why, where, how, what..) the question word is repeated in the indirect question: Ex: He said: "Why didnt you put on the brake?" ~~> He asked (her) why she hadnt put on the brake 5. If there is no question word, if or whether must be used: Ex: "Is anyone there?" he asked. ~~> He asked if/whether anyone there. - Normally, we can use either if of whether. If is more usual - whether can emphasize that a choice has to be made: Ex: "Do you want to go by air or sea?" the travel agent asked. ~~> The travel agent asked whether I wanted to go by air or sea. Note: whether or not. Ex: "do you want to insure your luggage or not?" he asked ~~> He asked whether or not I wanted to insure my luggage. or: He asked if I wanted to insure my luggage or not. - Whether + infi is possible after wonder, want to know: Ex: "Shall/Should I wait for them or go on?" He wondered. ~~> He wondered whether to wait for them or go on or: He wondered whether he should wait for them or go on inquire + whether + infi is possible, but less usual. - whether is nealer if the question contains a conditional clause as otherwise there would be two if: Ex: "If you get the job will you move to New york?" Bill asked ~~> Bill asked whether, if I got the job, I'd move to New york. Question beginning shall I/we? in indirect speech: Question beginning shall I/we? can be of four kinds. 1. Speculation or requests for information about a future event: Ex: "Shall I ever see them again?" - He wondered. These follow the ordinary rule about shall/will. Speculations are usually introduced by wonder Ex: "Shall I ever see them again?" - He wondered. ~~> He wondered if he would ever see them again. 2. Requests for instructions or advice: Ex: "What shall I say, mother?" These are expressed in indirect speech by ask, inquire... with should or the be + inf construction. Requests for advice are normally reported by should. Ex: "What shall I say, mother?" - She said. ~~> She asked her mother what she should say. When a choice is required we normally use whether in indirect speech. Whether + inf is sometimes possible. Ex: "Shall I ever see them again?" - He wondered. ~~> He wondered if he would ever see them again. 3. Offers: Ex: "Shall I bring you some tea?" ~~> He offered to bring me some tea. Note: "Would you like me to bring you some tea?" and "I will bring you some tea if you like" could also reported by offer 4. Suggestions: Ex: "Shall we meet at the theatre?" ~~> He suggest meeting at the theatre Questions beginning will you/would you/could you? These may be ordinary questions, but may also be requests, invitations, or, very occasionally, commands. Ex: He said: "Will you be there tomorrow?" ~~> He asked if she would be there the next day. "Will you stand still?" - He shouted ~~> He shouted at me to stand still. "Could you live on $25 a week?" - he asked ~~> He asked if I could live on $25 a week.
