Welcome to lesson 8 of B1. Today we're going to work on reported questions. By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to report questions without normal question word order with more confidence. Let's start with the main idea. English becomes much easier when you learn complete patterns instead of translating one word at a time. Listen to these examples and notice how the structure works in context. She asked where I lived. He asked if I was ready. They wanted to know what time it started. Now say the examples again slowly. Focus on the part of the sentence that changes. Then try to create one new example about your own life. Here's an important point to remember. In reported questions, use statement word order: 'where I lived', not 'where did I live'. Let's do a quick practice. Pause for a moment after each prompt and answer out loud. First: make one sentence about yourself using today's language. Second: make the same idea negative, if that is possible. Third: turn one example into a question or a different situation. Fourth: create one sentence about another person. Don't worry if your answer is not perfect. The goal is to produce English actively, not only recognize it. Now listen once more to the model language: She asked where I lived. He asked if I was ready. They wanted to know what time it started. Before we finish, say one original sentence without looking at the examples. If you can do that, you're already turning the lesson into active English. Great work. Review today's examples, practice them aloud, and continue to the next lesson when you're ready.
