(A) 直接問句和間接問句的區別：
一、 直接問句
(1) 直接問句就是問句，句尾一定加問號。
(2) 直接問句是主要子句，可以單獨存在。
例：
Are you in my class?
Do you get up at six every day?
Does he drive to work?
Did you miss the first train?
Will you lend him some money?
二、間接問句
(1) 間接問句是平述句，句尾的標點符號要由主要子句來決定。
(2) 間接問句只能當從属子句，必須加在一個主要子句之後，不能單獨存在。
例：Please tell me when he bought the car.
I don’t know if he came back home.
Would you please tell me what he told you about?
Do you happen to know when the next train will arrive?
三、直接問句的形式：
(1) 沒有疑問詞時：解釋為是不是、有沒有，其答句一定是 Yes 或者 No
Is he your brother? Yes, he is.
Does the house belong to him? No, it doesn’t.
Will you go to the movie with him? Yes, I will.
(2) 有疑問詞時：稱為 wh 的疑問句，因為有很多疑問詞都是 wh 開頭，其
答句要根據疑問詞所要求的事實來作答。
What time did he come to the class this morning? At 8:00.
Where did you pick up the purse? In front of the police station. .
How did he communicate with you? By cell phone.
四、 直接問句變成間接問句的要訣：
A. 沒有疑問詞的問句要先加一個連接詞 if，然後整個疑問句的句型改為
平述句句型，平述句句型一定是先排主詞再排動詞的次序。
A1. 如果是現在式、過去式以及現在進行和過去進行的 be 動詞 (am、is、
are、was 和 were) 的疑問句，就是把主詞和 be 動詞前後顛倒，然後
其餘的部份照抄，再看主要子句是平述句還是疑問句，再加一個正確
的標點符號在句尾即可。
直接問句：Are you a student?
間接問句（畫線部份）：I don’t know if you are a student.
間接問句（畫線部份）：Does he know if you are a student?
（因為主要子句 Does he know 式疑問句，所以句尾要加問號。）
Exercise：
1. Was he late this morning?
a. Do you know ___________________________________________
b. I don’t know ___________________________________________
2. Was I here before?
Do you know ____________________________________________
You don’t know __________________________________________
Answer: 1. a. if he was late this morning? b. if he was late this morning.
2. a. if I was here before?
b. if I was here before.
A2. 如是一般動詞的現在式以及過去式，也就是有加助動詞 Do、Does、和
Did 的疑問句，則除了加連接詞 if 之外，要先把 Do、Does、和 Did 去
掉，再寫主詞，再寫動詞，但是動詞一定改為正確形式，主詞是第三人
稱單數現在式時（原本的疑問句是以 Does 開頭），動詞要加 s 或 es 或
去掉 y 再加 ies，如果是過去式（原本的疑問句是以 Did 開頭）
，則動詞
要改為過去式，然後其餘的部份照抄，再看主要子句是平述句還是疑問
句，再加一個正確的標點符號在句尾即可。
例：
1. 直接問句：Do you go to school by bus every day?
間接問句（畫線部份）：I don’t know if you go to school by bus every day.
（因為主要子句 I don’t know 是平述句，所以句尾要加句點。）
間接問句（畫線部份）：Does he know if you go to school by bus every day?
（因為主要子句 Does he know 是疑問句，所以句尾要加問號。）
2. Does he study English every day?
間接問句（畫線部份）：Please tell me if he studies English every day.
（因為主要子句 Please tell me 是平述句，所以句尾要加句點。）
間接問句（畫線部份）：Don’t you know if he studies English every day?
（因為主要子句 Don’t you know 是疑問句，所以句尾要加問號。）
3. 直接問句： Did he leave here this morning?
間接問句（畫線部份）：I don’t know if he left here this morning.
間接問句（畫線部份）：Do you know if he left here this morning?
（因為主要子句 Do you know 是疑問句，所以句尾要加問號。）

a. I don’t know ________________________________________________

2. a. if he watches TV every night. b. if he watches TV every nigh?
3. a. if he went to Taipei yesterday. b. if he went to Taipei yesterday?
A3. 不管 be 動詞或一般動詞，如果直接問句的句首有其它助動詞 Will（Would）
、
Shall（Should）、Can（Could）、May （Might）、Must、以及現在完成式
的助動詞 Have、Has 以及過去完成式的助動詞 Had，在改為間接問句時，
只要把它們和主詞顛倒，其餘的部份照抄，句尾的標點符號也是視主要子
句而定。
例：
1. 直接問句：Will you be here in ten minutes?
間接問句（畫線部份）：I don’t know if you will be here in ten minutes.
（因為主要子句 I don’t know 是平述句，所以句尾要加句點。）
間接問句（畫線部份）：Does he know if you will be here in ten minutes?
（因為主要子句 Does he know 是疑問句，所以句尾要加問號。）
2. 直接問句： Has he ever been to Australia?
間接問句（畫線部份）：I don’t know if he has been to Australia.
間接問句（畫線部份）：Do you know if he has been to Australia?

b. if you will be able to give the money back to me?
B. 有疑問詞的直接問句，在改為間接問句時，只要把疑問詞拿來當連接詞即可，
不需要再加 if，其餘的改法就跟前述一樣。
B1. 如果是現在式、過去式以及現在進行和過去進行的 be 動詞 (am、is、are、
was 和 were) 的疑問句，就是把主詞和 be 動詞前後顛倒，然後其餘的部份
照抄，再看主要子句是平述句還是疑問句，再加一個正確的標點符號在句尾
即可。
