    Indirect Questions - Interactive Worksheet


    ESL / EFL RESOUR CES

    Indirect questions are polite longer forms of direct questions. We use them when
    talking to a person we don't know very well or in professional situations.

    Examples:

    Where is the department store? - Direct question

    Could you tell me where the department store is? - Indirect question

    What is his name? - Direct question

    Do you know what his name is? - Indirect question

    Indirect questions are formed of two parts: a polite expression and a question that has no
    subject/verb inversion like a direct question.

    Examples:

    Where is the post office? - Direct question

    Do you know where the post office is? - Indirect question

    What is the time? - Direct question

    Do you have any idea what the time is? - Indirect question

    Indirect questions do not use the auxiliary verbs 'do', 'does' or 'did'.

    Examples:

    When does the next train arrive? - Direct question

    Do you know when the next train arrives? - Indirect question

    Do you know when does the next train arrive? - Incorrect

    When did the cinema close down? - Direct question

    Could you tell me when the cinema closed down? - Indirect question

    Could you tell me when did the cinema close down? – Incorrect

    When the direct question is a yes or no question, we use 'if' and the word order of a normal
    positive sentence.

    Is the restaurant closing now? - Direct question

    Can you tell me if the restaurant is closing now? - Indirect question

    Does Sophia live in New York? - Direct question

    Do you know if Sophia lives in New York? - Indirect question
