E.g. Wheres my bike? He
asked us
Wanted to know
Wondered
Didnt know
When we report questions, we can use reporting verbs like: ask, want
to know, wonder, not know, etc.
In reported questions we use almost the same word order.
E.g. Wheres the cinema?
He wanted to know where the
cinema was.
Yes / No reported questions are introduced by if or whether.
E.g. Are you hungry?
She wanted to know if / whether we
were hungry.
Tense changes in reported questions are the same as for reported
statements.
