Question

Dan met Frank earlier. Read how he reports the conversation and answer the questions (1-3).

Answer

  1. The verb 'ask' is used to report questions.
  2. We use 'if / whether' to introduce a reported question when there is no question word.
  3. We report a positive command / request by using an introductory verb (ask, tell, etc) followed by to-infinitive. We report a negative command / request by using an introductory verb (ask, tell, etc) followed by not + to-infinitive.
