indirect questions – pytania pośrednie

➢ We ask a question in a more polite way – zadajemy pytanie w grzeczniejszy sposób,
➢ We start with – zaczynamy od zwrotu grzecznościowego:

• Could / can you tell me – czy mógłbyś / możesz mi powiedzieć

• I wonder – zastanawiam się
• I’d like to know – chciałbym wiedzieć
• Do you know – czy wiesz
• I’m not sure – nie jestem pewien
• Please tell me – proszę powiedz mi

➢ We use word order typical for positive sentences – stosujemy szyk zdania twierdzącego

Who is she? - I wonder who she is.

What did you see? - Please tell me what you saw.

➢ In general questions we use if / whether – w pytaniach ogólnych używamy “czy”

Do you like coffee? - Can you tell me if you like coffee.

Did you watch that film? - I wonder whether you watched that film.
