Direct vs. Reported Questions Explained

This document compares direct questions to reported questions in English. It provides examples of direct questions that ask about location, activities, and identity, and then reports those same questions using reported speech by adding "She asked me" or "He asked me" before the question. The direct questions use helping verbs like "is", "are", and auxiliary verbs like "do" and "have", while the reported questions maintain the same verb forms and meanings.
