Could you tell me what this word means

A

Do you know where … ? / I don’t know why … / Could you tell me what … ? etc.

Когда вопрос (Where has Tom gone?) является частью сложного предложения (Do you know … ? / I don’t know … / Can you tell me … ? etc.), порядок слов меняется. Точнее, мы уже указали вопросительный порядок слов в первой части предложения (когда вынесли do и can в начало предложения), поэтому во второй части он просто уже не нужен. Мы говорим:

Будьте аккуратнее со вспомогательными глаголами do/does/did в вопросах. Они вызывают привыкание и их хочется использовать в похожих фразах:

Используйте if или whether там, где нет других вопросительных слов (what, why и пр.):

B

He asked me where … (косвенные вопросы)

Такие же изменения происходят и в косвенных вопросах (reported questions). Сравните:

В косвенной речи глагол обычно меняется на прошедшее время (were, closed и т.п.). См. урок 47.

Изучите эти примеры. У вас было собеседование по поводу работы, вам задавали следующие вопросы:

Позже вы говорите другу о том, какие вопросы вам задавали. Вы используете косвенную речь:

• She asked if (or whether) I was willing to travel.
• She wanted to know what I did in my spare time.
• She asked how long I had been working in my present job.
• She asked why I had applied for the job. (or … why I applied)
• She wanted to know if (or whether) I could speak any foreign languages.
• She asked if (or whether) I had a driving licence.
