５．若直接引语为一般疑问句（原为倒装语序），改为间接引语时要用陈述句的语序而且还要加连词if 或whether引出。注意whether后还可跟or或or nor ，但if 不能。Whether可用在介词后或带to的不定式前面，而if不能。但若宾语从句为否定句时，常用if而不用whether。
He asked, Are you a teacher or a student?
He asked me whether I was a teacher or a student.
注：如果主句中的谓语为said，改为间接引语时要用asked，无间接宾语，要适当加一个me，us，him等。如：
He said, Are you ready?
He asked me if I was ready.
６．若直接引语为特殊疑问句，间接引语就要使用疑问词引出，而且要用陈述句语序。
What are you doing here? the guard said to us.
The guard asked us what we were doing there.
７．当直接引语为祈使句时，间接引语要改为带复合宾语（宾语＋宾语补足语）的句子，宾补用不定式表示。
即：ask (tell, order, beg, etc) someone (not) to do something。注意不要用said。
Dont mention it again, the said to her husband.
She asked her husband not to mention it againUID303
