Reported speech2

We often use ask + if/whether, then change the tenses as with statements. In reported questions we don’t use question forms after the reporting verb.

Do you have any experience working with people?'

They asked if I had any experience working with people.

'What acting have you done?'

They asked me what acting I had done.

Sentences that start with a verb in direct speech need a to + infinitive in reported speech.

She told him to be good. (Direct speech: 'Be good!')

He told them not to forget. (Direct speech: 'Please don’t forget.')
