Step-by-Step explanation by Teachoo:
The answer has to follow some rules to change the direct question into an indirect question. They are: 📚
- The word order of the indirect question has to be subject + verb + object, not verb + subject + object as in the direct question.🔄
- The pronouns of the indirect question have to match the point of view of the speaker, not the original speaker.🙋♀️
- The tense of the indirect question has to shift back one tense from the direct question, if the reporting verb is in the past tense.⏰
- The punctuation of the indirect question has to change from a question mark to a full stop, as it is no longer a direct question.🔚
