Ingles VI

Reported Questions ·          Direct speech: Where do you live? ·          Discurso directo: ¿Dónde vives? In fact, it's not so different from reported statements. The tense changes are the same, and we keep the question word. The very important thing though is that, once we tell the question to someone else, it isn't a question any more. De hecho, no es tan diferente de las declaraciones informadas. Los cambios de tiempo son los mismos y mantenemos la palabra de pregunta. Sin embargo, lo más importante es que, una vez que le contamos la pregunta a otra persona, ya no es una pregunta. ·          Direct speech: Where do you live? ·          Reported speech: She asked me where I lived. ·            Discurso directo: ¿Dónde vives? ·          ¿Cómo podemos hacer el discurso informado aquí? ·          Direct speech: Where is Julie? ·          Reported speech: She asked me where Julie was. ·            Discurso directo: ¿Dónde está Julie? ·
