ENGLISH GRAMMAR IN USE FOR INTERMEDIATE
50. Questions 2 (Do you know where …?/ He asked me where ….)
| A | Do you know where ... ? / I don't know why ... / Could you tell me what ... ? etc.  When the question ( Where has Tom gone ?) is part of a longer sentence ( Do you know ...? / I don't know ... /Can you tell me ... ? etc.), the word order changes. We say: | What time is it ? Who are those people ? Where can I find Louise? How much will it cost? | but | Do you know what time it is ? I don't know who those people are Can you tell me where I can find Louise? Do you have any idea how much it will cost? | Be careful with do/does/did questions. We say: | What time does the film start ? What do you mean ? Why did she leave early? | but | Do you know what time the film starts ? (not does the film start) Please explain what you mean . I wonder why she left early. | Use if or whether where there is no other question word ( what, why etc.): | Did anybody see you? | but | Do you know if anybody saw you? or ... whether anybody saw you? | |
| B | He asked me where ... (reported questions) The same changes in word order happen in reported questions. Compare: | direct reported | The police officer said to us 'Where are you going ?' The police officer asked us where we were going. | | direct reported | Clare said 'What time do the banks close? ' Clare wanted to know what time the banks closed . | In reported speech the verb usually changes to the past (were, closed etc.). See Unit 47. Study these examples. You had an interview for a job and these were some of the questions the interviewer asked you: |  | · Are you willing to travel? · What do you do in your spare time? · How long have you been working in your present job? · Why did you apply for the job? · Can you speak any other language? · Do you have a driving licence? | Later you tell a friend what the interviewer asked you. You use reported speech: · She asked if (or whether) I was willing to travel. · She wanted to know what I did in my spare time. · She asked how long I had been working in my present job. · She asked why I had applied for the job. (or ... why I applied ) · She wanted to know if (or whether) I could speak any other languages. · She asked if (or whether) I had a driving licence. |
