Reported questions: change word order and tense
What do you remember about this?
Show explanation
Keep the question word in a wh-question, then use subject-verb order: "He asked where I lived." For a yes-no question, use if or whether: "She asked whether I was ready." Change the tense when you are reporting a past question from a later point in time, unless the fact is still true or the context does not need a change.
