Grade 7 Grammar Lesson 8 Reporting questions and imperatives
How do we report yes/no questions?
How do we report wh- questions?
How do we report imperatives?
Can w use other reporting verbs except ‘say’ or ‘tell’?
All the rules applied in reporting statements are also applicable to reporting questions.
However, there are a few peculiarities in the case of questions.
We use ask as the reporting verb.
If the question in direct speech is a Yes/ No one, we introduce it with if or whether.
If it is a wh– question, the question word (wh– word) is retained.
