Study Notes
Reported 'Wh' Questions: Present Simple
- Converting Direct Questions to Reported Questions: The provided examples demonstrate changing direct questions (e.g., "Where is the post office?") into reported questions (e.g., "She asked me where the post office was.")
- Structure: The reported question maintains the original 'wh' word (e.g., where, why, what, who) and modifies the sentence structure to fit a reporting verb (e.g., She asked me).
- Example 1: The direct question "Where is the post office?" is reported as "She asked me where the post office was."
- Example 2: The direct question "Why is Julie sad?" is reported as "She asked me why Julie was sad."
- Example 3: The direct question "What's for dinner?" is reported as "She asked me what was for dinner."
- Pattern: This pattern applies consistently across all examples and questions about various topics.
- Example 4: The direct question "Who is the woman in the red dress?" is reported as "She asked me who the woman in the red dress was."
- Example 5: The direct question "How is your grandmother?" is reported as "She asked me how my grandmother was."
- Example 6 – 20: Following similar transformations, the reported 'wh' questions cover diverse topics like parties, rent, locations, weather, and even more specific inquiries about individuals and their activities.
Reported Questions Examples
- General: Various questions regarding locations, people, activities, and conditions are presented, showing how to place the query within a reported question format.
