Indirect Questions

Posted by Esther on 3:11
La preguntas indirectas sirven para preguntar por algo de una manera mucho más educada y cordial que las directas.
Lo importante en la construcción de este tipo de preguntas es saber lo siguiente:
Con las preguntas “indirectas”, el orden del sujeto (y el auxiliar) y del verbo principal va en el mismo orden que en la afirmación.

Por ejemplo:

-Do you think he is doing his homework?
¿Crees que el está haciendo sus las tareas?

“He is doing”
 se mantiene igual que en la afirmación.


-Are you going to ask me what I bought?
¿Me vas a preguntar que me compré?

"I bought”, en Simple Past, queda igual que en su oración afirmativa.

Algunas formas de introducir preguntas indirectas son:

-Do you think..
-Could you tell me...
-Are you going to ask me...
-Do you know...
-I wonder...

I wish he was or were

Posted by Esther on 7:35

As I explained in class there are certain contexts where "were" is used instead of "was". Actually, "was" is ungrammatical in these cases although natives do not usually know it. It has to do with the subjunctive mood.
