Why practice Indirect Questions exercises?
These indirect questions exercises take you from A2 basics to B2 advanced usage. Start by converting simple wh-questions to indirect questions with correct statement word order (Can you tell me where the station is?). Then master if/whether for yes/no indirect questions (Do you know if she's coming?) and learn when to use a question mark versus a period. Finally, tackle common traps — keeping question word order by mistake, confusing indirect questions with reported speech, and handling complex structures with modals and perfect tenses.
