Reported speech questions

WH Questions:
When we tell the question to someone else, it isn't a question any more. So we need to change the grammar to a normal positive sentence.
  • Direct: "Where does Peter live?"
  • Indirect: She asked him where Peter lived.
Yes/No Questions (ask + if/whether + proposition):
  • Direct: "Is it raining?"
  • Indirect: She asked if it was raining.
Interrogative pronouns (ask + interrogative pronoun + proposition):
  • Direct: The policeman said to the boy, "Where do you live?"
  • Indirect: The policeman asked the boy where he lived.
