Hello,everyone!

Do you know how to report a question that somebody asked? Test what you know with interactive exercises and read the explanation to help you.

Look at these examples to see how we can tell someone what another person asked.

direct speech: ‘Do you work from home?’ he said.

indirect speech: He asked me if I worked from home.

direct speech: ‘Who did you see?’ she asked.

indirect speech: She asked me who I’d seen.

direct speech: ‘Could you write that down for me?’ she asked. indirect speech: She asked me to write it down.

Grammar explanation

A reported question is when we tell someone what another person asked. To do this, we can use direct speech or indirect speech.

direct speech: ‘Do you like working in sales?’ he asked.

indirect speech: He asked me if I liked working in sales

. In indirect speech, we change the question structure (e.g. Do you like) to a statement structure (e.g. I like). We also often make changes to the tenses and other words in the same way as for reported statements (e.g. have done → had done, today → that day).

You can learn about these changes on the Reported speech 1 – statements page.
