*Wh-questions (Câu hỏi có từ để hỏi: what, where, when, how…)

S + asked (+O)/ wanted to know/ wondered + what/ who/…. + S+V

- Không dùng If/ Whether mà dùng lại các từ để hỏi sẵn có (what/ where/ when,…) để mở đầu cho mệnh đề tường thuật.

Ví dụ: “What are you talking about?” said the teacher.

→ The teacher asked us what we were talking about.

5. Tường thuật câu mệnh lệnh, cầu khiến, khuyên bảo, đe dọa, lời mời, ngỏ ý …
