Interrogative sentences-

In the case of interrogative sentences, the reporting verb 'said to' can be changed to 'asked' or 'enquire'. If the interrogative sentence requires a 'Yes/No' answer, then the conjunction 'if' or 'whether' is used in place of that conjunction.

If the interrogative sentence begins with a question word(what, who, which, whom, when, why, where or how) then that question word is used as the conjunction.
