Reported yes/no questions
We introduce reported YES/NO questions with ask + if:
direct question |
She said, |
"Do you like coffee?" |
reported question |
She asked |
if I liked coffee. |
Note that in the above example the reported question has no auxiliary "do". But there is pronoun change and backshift.
Note that we sometimes use "whether" instead of "if". The meaning is the same. "Whether" is a little more formal and more usual in writing:
They asked us if we wanted lunch.
