When we want to report a question, it is important to remember about the word order. Inverted word order we had in the question becomes direct in the reported speech. Disregard of this rule is a common mistake English learners make. The second aspect to keep in mind is the backshift of tenses. The exercises on this page will help you practise reported questions. If you are only starting to study reported speech, we recommend to cover reported statements first. The link is in the related topics block below.
