When reporting questions, the word order changes to statement order (no inversion). For yes/no questions, add 'if' or 'whether.' For wh-questions, keep the question word. Tenses shift back as in reported statements.

转述问句时，语序变为陈述句语序（不倒装）。是/否问句用'if'或'whether'。wh-问句保留疑问词。时态像转述陈述句一样后退。

Al reportar preguntas, el orden de palabras cambia a orden de afirmación (sin inversión). Para preguntas de sí/no, agrega 'if' o 'whether.' Para preguntas con wh-, mantén la palabra interrogativa. Los tiempos retroceden como en declaraciones reportadas.

質問を報告する時、語順は陳述文の語順に変わります（倒置なし）。はい/いいえの質問には「if」か「whether」を加えます。wh-疑問文は疑問詞を保持します。時制は報告文と同様に後退します。

질문을 간접 전달할 때는 어순이 평서문 어순으로 바뀝니다(도치 없음). 예/아니오 질문에는 'if' 또는 'whether'를 추가합니다. 의문사 질문에는 의문사를 그대로 유지합니다. 시제는 간접 전달문과 마찬가지로 한 단계 과거로 이동합니다.
