Question

Write the rules for changing assertive sentences into interrogative sentences with examles.​

Answer 1

Rules for changing Questions (Interrogative sentences) into indirect:-

$\sf\pink{⟶}$The Reporting Verb 'say' is changed into ask / inquire, wonder etc.

$\sf\orange{⟶}$The word 'order'in a reported question is changed to make it a statement by placing the subject before the verb. The question mark (?) is replaced with a full stop (.).

$\sf\pink{⟶}$All the general rules for the change of pronouns, tenses, etc. are applicable.

$\sf\green{⟶}$In Yes/No answer type questions 'if' or 'whether' is used after the Reporting Verb to introduce the indirect question.

$\sf\red{⟶}$In questions beginning with a Question-word – who, whom, whose, what, which, when, where, why and how 'if' or 'whether' is NOT USED. The given question word itself is retained to introduce the reported question.
