Câu hỏi gián tiếp với Where/What/When/How/Who/Why
Khi đặt câu hỏi gián tiếp (embedded questions) với các từ để hỏi như where, what, when, how, who, why, chúng ta KHÔNG đảo ngữ như câu hỏi trực tiếp.
Cấu trúc:
Do you know / Can you tell me / I know / I don't know / I don't remember + từ để hỏi + chủ ngữ + động từ
So sánh:
| Câu hỏi trực tiếp | Câu hỏi gián tiếp |
|---|---|
| Where is Paula? | Do you know where Paula is? (không phải: Do you know where is Paula?) |
| Who are those people? | Do you know who those people are? |
| How old is Nicola? | Can you tell me how old Nicola is? |
| What time is it? | I don't know what time it is. |
| Where can I go? | I don't know where I can go. |
| How much is this camera? | Do you know how much this camera is? |
| When are you going away? | I don't remember when you're going away. |
| Where have they gone? | Do you know where they have gone? |
| What was Kate wearing? | I don't remember what Kate was wearing. |
