H\u00e1 basicamente duas principais formas de fazer perguntas: diretamente e indiretamente. As perguntas diretas s\u00e3o as perguntas \u201cnormais\u201d que geralmente s\u00e3o feitas aos amigos, colegas, membros da fam\u00edlia, etc. S\u00e3o usadas mais em um contexto informal.\u00a0 Normalmente usamos as perguntas indiretas com as pessoas que conhecemos bem e temos um grau maior de intimidade.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Eg.\u00a0 Do you speak English?
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What time is it?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

J\u00e1 as perguntas indiretas s\u00e3o usadas em situa\u00e7\u00f5es mais formais; com pessoas que n\u00e3o temos nenhum grau de intimidade ou em ambientes de trabalho.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Eg.\u00a0 Could you tell me what time it is?
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Would you mind telling me what that is?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Usamos algumas express\u00f5es para fazer indirect questions:
Do you know \u2026?<\/em>\u00a0(Voc\u00ea sabe \u2026?)
I don\u2019t know \u2026<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(Eu n\u00e3o sei \u2026)
Can you tell me \u2026?<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(Voc\u00ea pod me contar \u2026?)
Could you tell me \u2026?<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(Voc\u00ea poderia me contar \u2026?)
Do you have any idea \u2026?<\/em>\u00a0(Voc\u00ea tem ideia \u2026?)
I wonder \u2026<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(Ser\u00e1 que \u2026?)
Please explain \u2026<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(Por favor, explique \u2026)<\/span><\/strong>
\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vale ressaltar que tanto a forma direta quanto a indireta tem o mesmo sentido. O uso delas \u00e9 feito a depender da situa\u00e7\u00e3o como j\u00e1 foi mencionado.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Observe a frase a seguir:
Could you tell me where the bank is?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Observe que na frase mencionada o verbo to be<\/strong> (is)<\/em><\/strong> foi utilizado depois do sujeito (bank) da mesma forma como estruturamos frases afirmativas. (The bank is over there.). Por\u00e9m, em perguntas diretas o verbo to be viria antes do sujeito.\u00a0 Chamamos isso de \u2018invers\u00e3o\u2019.\u00a0 \u00c9 o que acontece em perguntas diretas em diferentes tempos verbais.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Quando a pergunta n\u00e3o usa question words (what, where, when, how, etc.) usamos if<\/strong> ou whether<\/strong> (mais formal). A constru\u00e7\u00e3o da pergunta indireta \u00e9 basicamente realizada pela constru\u00e7\u00e3o de duas frases: a primeira (que normalmente utilizamos a estrutura e pergunta) e a segunda que dever\u00e1 estar na forma afirmativa (sem invers\u00e3o).<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Em perguntas com do, does e did<\/em><\/strong>, os verbos auxiliares desaparecem na resposta.<\/p>\n

e.g.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What time does the movie begin?
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Can you tell me what time the movie begins?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Where did she go?
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do you know where she went?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0What do you mean?
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I don\u2019t know what you mean.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
