Grammar explanation语法解释

A reported question is when we tell someone what another person asked. To do this, we can use direct speech or indirect speech.报告问题是当我们告诉某人另一个人问的问题时。为此，我们可以使用直接引语或间接引语。

direct speech: ‘Do you like working in sales?’ he asked. 直接引语：“你喜欢销售工作吗？”他问。
indirect speech: He asked me if I liked working in sales. 间接引语：他问我是否喜欢从事销售工作。

In indirect speech, we change the question structure (e.g. Do you like) to a statement structure (e.g. I like).在间接引语中，我们将问题结构（例如，你喜欢吗）更改为陈述结构（例如，我喜欢）。

We also often make changes to the tenses and other words in the same way as for reported statements (e.g. have done → had done, today → that day). You can learn about these changes on the Reported speech 1 – statements page.我们还经常以与报道性陈述相同的方式改变时态和其他词语（例如，已经做了→已经做了，今天→那天）。您可以在报告演讲 1 – 声明页面了解这些变化。

Yes/no questions是/否问题

In yes/no questions, we use if or whether to report the question. If is more common.在是/否问题中，我们使用是否或是否报告问题。如果是比较常见的。

‘Are you going to the Helsinki conference?’ “你要去赫尔辛基会议吗？”

• He asked me if I was going to the Helsinki conference. 他问我是否要去参加赫尔辛基会议。

‘Have you finished the project yet?’ “你完成这个项目了吗？”

• She asked us whether we’d finished the project yet. 她问我们这个项目是否完成了。

Questions with a question word-带有疑问词的疑问句

In what, where, why, who, when or how questions, we use the question word to report the question.在什么、哪里、为什么、谁、何时或如何的问题中，我们使用疑问词来报告问题。

‘What time does the train leave?’ “火车什么时候离开？”

• He asked me what time the train left. 他问我火车几点出发。

‘Where did he go?’ “他去哪了？”

• She asked where he went. 她问他去哪儿了。

Reporting verbs-报告动词

The most common reporting verb for questions is ask, but we can also use verbs like enquire, want to know or wonder.最常见的表达问题的动词是“询问”，但我们也可以使用“询问”、“想知道”或“想知道”等动词。

‘Did you bring your passports?’ “你带护照了吗？”

• She wanted to know if they’d brought their passports. 她想知道他们是否带了护照。

‘When could you get this done by?’ “你什么时候能完成这件事？”

• He wondered when we could get it done by. 他想知道我们什么时候能完成这件事。

Offers, requests and suggestions-报价、请求和建议

If the question is making an offer, request or suggestion, we can use a specific verb pattern instead, for example offer + infinitive, ask + infinitive or suggest + ing.如果问题是提出要约、请求或建议，我们可以使用特定的动词模式，例如 Offer + 不定式、ask + 不定式或 suggest + ing。

‘Would you like me to help you?’ “你想要我帮助你吗？”

• He offered to help me. 他主动提出要帮助我。

‘Can you hold this for me, please?‘ “你能帮我拿着这个吗？”
