Reported questions 間接引語問句
When we report what people say, we usually change the tense of the verbs to reflect that we are reporting – not giving direct speech. This pattern is followed when we report Questions and there are also other important changes between direct questions and reported questions.
當我們要轉述別人說的話，我們通常要改變動詞的時態以表明這是轉述—不給出直接語氣。在我們表達轉述的疑問句的時候，這種模式同樣適用，還有一些其他的重要改變介乎直接疑問句和間接引語問句之間。
Yes/no questions 一般疑疑問句
Direct question:"Do you like working in teams?"
直接疑問句: “Do you like working in teams?”
Reported question: He asked if I like working in teams.
間接引語問句: He asked if I like working in teams.
When we report yes/no questions we use ‘if’ or ‘whether’.
當我們轉述一般疑疑問句的時候，我們用if或者whether
• Direct question:Did you enjoy the party?
直接疑問句: “Did you enjoy the party?”
Reported questionen:She asked me whether I’d enjoyed the party.
間接引語問句:She asked me whether I’d enjoyed the party.
The tense of the verb changes as it does in reported speech but we don’t use auxiliary verbs. The word order is the same as in an affirmative sentence.
隨着轉述的語氣改變，動詞的時態也改變了，但是我們不使用助動詞。在肯定句裏，詞的順序是不變的。
Questions with a question word 帶疑問詞的疑問句
• Direct question:"What time does the train leave?”
直接疑問句: “What time does the train leave?”
Reported question:He asked what time the train left.
間接引語問句: He asked what time the train left.
When there is a question word (what, where, why, who, when, how) we use that question word in the reported question but there is no auxiliary verb and the word order is like an affirmative sentence (‘what time the train left’ not He asked me what time did the train leave.)
當句子是帶疑問詞(what, where, why, who, when, how)的疑問句，我們在間接引語問句裏要用那個疑問詞，但是沒有去掉助動詞，而單詞的順序要按照肯定句的模式。(是‘what time the train left’ 而不是 He asked me what time did the train leave.)
Look at some more examples:
看看更多的例句：
• Direct question: “Who did you see?”• Reported question: She asked me who I’d seen.
• Direct question: “Where did you go to school?”
• Reported question: He asked me where I’d gone to school.
• Direct question: “Why are you crying?”
• Reported question: She asked him why he was crying.
Notice that the reported questions do not have a question mark at the end.
注意，間接引語問句結尾不用問號。
indirect questions 間接疑問句
Similar to reported questions are indirect questions.
跟間接引語問句相似的是間接疑問句。
• Can you tell me what time the train leaves? NOT Can you tell me what time does the train leave?• I’d love to know what he said to her. NOT I’d love to know what did he say to her.
