Reported questions

The hot date

You've been on a date and your best friend wants to know all about it. To tell her, you're going to need reported speech, including reported questions. Let's take a look at these.

A direct question is: Where are you from?

A reported question is: He asked where I was from.

To form a reported question, you need to follow these steps:

1) Use a reporting verb:

  • He asked where I was from.

2) Repeat the question word:

  • He asked where I was from.

3) Change the pronouns:

  • He asked where I was from.

4) Move the tense back (note: you don't have to move the tense back when you're talking about general truths):

  • He asked where I was from.

5) Use statement word order:

  • He asked where I was from.

Note: Yes/no questions

For yes/no questions, we use if or whether.

Example: Is it two o'clock?

  • She asked if it was two o'clock.
  • She asked whether it was two o'clock.
