REPORTED QUESTIONS 

Als je VRAGEN herschrijft, moet je dezelfde stappen zetten als bij reported statements, maar je moet ook nog een extra stap zetten. 

Kijk eens naar deze zinnen: 
"It is cold here."
She said that it was cold there.

"What are you doing here?" 
She asked what I was doing there. 

Dus: 

Een directe vraag heeft VRAAGVOLGORDE 

Een indirecte vraag heeft een bevestigende (of eventueel ontkennende) volgorde. 

"Is he your best friend?" (eerst persoonsvorm dan onderwerp - vraagvolgorde.) 

She asked if he was my best friend (eerst onderwerp dan persoonsvorm - normale woordvolgorde)

Kijk goed naar de volgende direct en indirecte vragen. Kijk naar de verschillen. 

The teacher: "Are you paying attention?"

The teacher asked if / whether we were paying attention. 

My friend: "Do you like pizza?"
My friend asked if / whether I liked pizza. 

My parents: "Did you do well on today's test?"
My parents asked if / whether I had done well on that day's test. 

De stappen bij het maken van indirecte vragen zijn dus: 

- Zet werkwoordstijden één stap terug in de tijd als dat kan. 

- Draai onderwerp en persoonsvorm om of haal do / did weg uit de vraag. 

- Verander persoonlijke en bezittelijke voornaamwoorden

- Verander bepalingen van plaats en tijd.
