Questions Mike: “What are you going to do?” Mike asked Ken what he was going to do. Mike: “Are you all right, Ken?” Mike asked Ken if he was all right. What differences can you see in these sentences? Page *

Questions In reported –wh questions, we us the wh- word + the subject + the verb. In reported yes/no questions, we use if/whether + the subject + the verb. We do not use the interrogative form of the verb: do/does/did As it is an indirect question, no question marks are used. We use reported verbs: ask, wonder, want to know etc. Page *

Commands and requests Ken: “Don’t spread it around, Mike.” Ken asked Mike not to spread it around. Mike advised Ken:”Make it up with Pauline!” Mike advised Ken to make it up with Pauline. Page *

Commands and requests When we report requests, orders, advice or warnings we use verbs such as advice, ask, beg, tell, order, etc, followed by an infinitive. NB In negative requests/commands use NOT before TO. Page *
