Language reference Reported yes / no questions
Reported speech When we report questions without a question word,
we use if + subject + verb.
We use reported speech to report what someone
has said. ● ‘Do you live in London?’
● He asked me if I lived in London.
● ‘I live in Paris.’
● She said she lived in Paris.
The tense changes when we use reported speech.

Developing products Reporting verbs

design a prototype agree
When we use direct speech, we write the exact words develop a concept announce
the person said inside quotation marks.
develop the product complain

When we use reported speech we do not use give a demonstration invite
quotation marks. improve the design offer
invent characters promise
● He said he watched films on TV. manufacture a product refuse
research an idea suggest
Other changes in reported speech solve any problems tell
Some personal pronouns (I, you, etc), possessive test out the product warn
adjectives (my, your, etc), demonstrative adjectives
(this, that, etc) and time expressions (today, yesterday,
etc) change in reported speech.
● ‘I’m leaving today.’
● She said she was leaving that day.

Reported questions with question

words
When we report questions with a question word, we
use question word + subject + verb.
