Question word +
auxiliary +
subject + verb
Example: Audrey, “Where did the interview
take place?"
|
Subject + asked + question
word + a clause
Example: Audrey asked where
the interview had taken
place.
NOTE: We can also introduce reported questions with
wanted to know and wondered.
Example: Audrey wanted to know where the
interview had taken place.
Audrey wondered where the interview had taken place. |
Important NOTES:
|
We use Second Conditional to show that something is less likely to happen in the
present or imaginary and to give advice.

If clause
|
Main Clause
|
If + Past Simple | would/could/might + bare infinitive |
Example: If I didn’t
spend that much time on social media, I would
have better
score in the exam. (He spends a lot of time on social media, so it is untrue and
less
likely to happen in the present.)
If I could, I would create my own TV channel. If I were you, I wouldn’t let him talk to me like that. |
