Task number 1
and 9. Change the sentences below into direct speech and indirect speech quetion
statement !
1. Do you know my cousin ?
Answer : She asked me if I knew her cousin
9. “ Will you be at meeting tomorrow “
Answer : He asked me if I would be at meeting the next day
When asked direct questions using words such as where,
when, why, what, who, how. question the reported change into positive and
quotes.
Example :
Diana said to me " how old are you " ?
Diana asked me how old I was
How old are you =>
Use the simple present tense then we turn the question into a noun
clause. So the statement turns into Diana asked me how old I was because it was
the simple past tense of acres
When
regular direct question
does not directly use the word ask. Statement
in the form of "yes" and "no” question, then we use the word if or whether, as a liaison. said
it normally should
work in the past.
Example
:
Tom said to me " are you hungry " ?
Tom said to me " are you hungry " ?
Tom
asked me if I was hungry
Tom
asked me Whether I was
hungry
In
this statement we have to change the above
question of tenses
simple present tense becomes simple past tense. So we
use " was " to change from " are ".
Then to ask the
question we must use " if " or " Whether " too. Because
in this statement we just answer" yes" or "no" .
