Study the information. Put the words in the correct order to make reported questions
Questions in Reported Speech
In reported questions, we use affirmative word order and the question mark is omitted.

e.g. "What are you doing?" she asked. → She asked me what I was doing.(She asked me what was I doing?)

To report a question we use:

• ask + wh-word (who, what, etc.) when the direct question begins with such a word
• ask + if/whether when the direct question begins with a verb (do, has, can, etc.)

e.g. She asked, "Where are you going?" (direct speech) → She asked me where I was going. (reported speech)

She said, "Are you going out?" (direct speech) → She asked me if/whether I was going out. (reported speech)
