Direkte in indirekte Fragen umwandeln
Turning direct into indirect questions
Here is how to turn a direct question into an indirect one:
| Question type | Rule |
|---|---|
| yes/no question | introduction + ob + verb to the end |
| W-question | introduction + question word + verb to the end |
The verb that stood up front moves to the back: "Isst du …?" → "…, ob du … isst".
Examples: Isst du gern Pizza? → Ich möchte wissen, ob du gern Pizza isst. (I'd like to know whether you like pizza.) · Was möchtest du essen? → Sag mir, was du essen möchtest. (Tell me what you'd like to eat.)
Ich möchte wissen, ___ du gern Pizza isst.
