How to build direct and indirect questions?
I have to omit ‘do’, ‘does’, ‘did’ in an indirect question and change word order. What else?
I made sentences to the text. Are they correct?
Direct questions:
1. What does a new study out of Stanford University suggest?
2. What did the study find?
3. What do critics say?
4. Who has a variety of reasons for choosing organic foods?
5. How is сertified-organic food produced?
Indirect questions:
1. Can you tell me what a new study out of Stanford University suggests.
2. Do you know what the study found.
3. Do you happen to know what critics say.
4. Do you know who has a variety of reasons for choosing organic foods.
5. Can you tell me how сertified-organic food is produced.
Exercise: Read the text and make direct and indirect questions to the parts of the sentences written in bold letters.
A new study out of Stanford University suggests that organic foods have no additional nutritional value than non-organic foods1. The study suggests that other factors, such as the ripeness of the produce when it is picked, determine the nutritional quality. The study found that organic food contained significantly less pesticide residue than non-organic food2. Despite the massive research that went into the study, critics say that the research is flawed and based on short-term evidence3. Consumers4 have a variety of reasons for choosing organic foods, including concerns about animal welfare and the environment. Certified-organic food is produced with environmentally and animal-friendly production methods5, and does not contain genetically modified ingredients.
