INDIRECT QUESTIONS, azaz közvetett kérdések

Ijesztő elnevezése ellenére ez sem egy bonyolult nyelvtani kérdés, úgyhogy nem kell tőle félni! Egy picit fussuk át az angol kérdésfeltevéssel kapcsolatos dolgokat, mielőtt belevágnák ebbe a leckébe.

Who? – Ki?/Kik?/Kit?/Kiket?

Whom? – Kinek?/(Kit?), és még sok minden más prepozícióval kombinálva

What? – Mi?/Mik?/Mit?/Miket?

Where? – Hol?

When? – Mikor?

Which? – Melyik?

Why? – Miért?

Whose? – Kié?

How? – Hogy?/Hogyan?

Figyelj csak:

DIRECT QUESTION: What time is it, please?

INDIRECT QUESTION: Could you tell me what the time is, please?

Ha jobban megnézed az utóbbi, tehát ’indirect question’-t, akkor láthatod, hogy ez tulajdonképpen két részből áll, két kérdést kombinálunk össze:

Could you tell me? (1) + What time is it? (2)

… és mi történik? A második mondat szórendje „egyenes” lesz, azaz kijelentő mondattá alakul a második mondat kérdőszava (what) után (the time is).

Tehát magára az információra, amire kíváncsiak vagyunk, azt a második mondattal tesszük fel, nem kérdő formában.

További példák:

Where is Paul? Do you know? – Do you know where Paul is?

Who is that girl? Have you got any idea? – Have you got any idea who that girl is?

Tipikus bevezető kérdésformák:

Could you tell me …?

Do you know …?

Have you got any idea?/Do you have any idea?

Would you mind telling me?

Make an indirect question from a direct question!

(Use: Could you tell me...)

How long will the meeting last?

Where does Miss Davis live?

When did you leave school?

How much is it?

What time does the train leave?

What have you been doing here?

When are you going to go to the cinema?

Eldöntendő kérdés (yes or no question)

Ha a kérdés eldöntendő (tehát a válasz csak igen vagy nem), akkor a kérdőszó helyett használjunk: if/whether.

E.G.:

I would like to know if/whether we can check out later.

Természetesen a kijelentő szórend marad.

Do you like animals?

Had you been there before the party?

Were you drinking all night?

Have you seen the movie last night?

Fill the gaps according to the story you hear!
