= E9 M - Report questions and commands =

'''Mini-Beschreibung:''' You learn to report questions, requests and commands from an interview, the workplace and everyday life. You keep the meaning, change the grammar where needed and react in clear B1 English.

'''Level:''' English as a first foreign language, Klasse 9, M-Niveau, Baden-Württemberg. Work mainly in English. Use the German help only when you need it.

[[Datei:Job interview 0001.jpg|500px|rahmenlos|center]]

'''Media start – look, think, speak:''' Look at the interview photo. Imagine two direct questions and one polite request. Say them to a partner. Then report one of them: ''The interviewer asked ...''

{{BR}}
== I can ... ==

# '''I can''' understand the main point of short interviews and workplace conversations.
# '''I can''' report yes/no questions with ''if'' or ''whether''.
# '''I can''' report wh-questions with statement word order.
# '''I can''' report commands and requests with ''tell/ask + person + to-infinitive''.
# '''I can''' change pronouns, time words and place words when the context changes.
# '''I can''' ask for clarification, improve my first answer and use the pattern again.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
'''Deutsch-Hilfe:''' Du gibst Fragen und Aufforderungen sinngemäß wieder. Wichtig sind Bedeutung, Wortstellung und passende Pronomen – nicht eine Wort-für-Wort-Übersetzung.
</div>

{{BR}}
== Your learning loop ==

'''English first → understand → respond → ask → hint → improve → use again.'''

Try first. If you are stuck, ask: ''Could you repeat that?'' / ''Do I use if here?'' / ''Can I have a hint?'' Then improve your sentence and use the same pattern in a new situation.

[[Datei:Classroom conversations (30900498575).jpg|500px|rahmenlos|center]]

{{BR}}
== What you already know ==

You should know direct questions such as ''Where do you work?'' and ''Can you help me?'' You should also know the imperative: ''Open the file.'' / ''Don't open the file.''

'''Quick check:''' Change the direct question ''Where does Mia live?'' into normal statement word order without changing the tense: ''Mia lives ...'' This word order will help you with reported questions.

{{BR}}
= Input =

{{BR}}
== Core pattern 1: reported yes/no questions ==

Direct: ''“Do you work on Saturdays?”''

Reported: '''She asked me if I worked on Saturdays.'''

You can also use '''whether'''. The reported part has statement word order.

{| class="wikitable"
! Direct question
! Reported question
|-
| Are you ready?
| He asked if I was ready.
|-
| Can you start at nine?
| She asked whether I could start at nine.
|-
| Did you call the customer?
| The manager asked if I had called the customer.
|}

'''Notice:''' No ''do / does / did'' in the reported clause. Do not write: ''She asked if did I call ...''

{{BR}}
== Core pattern 2: reported wh-questions ==

Keep the question word: '''what, where, when, why, who, how'''. Then use statement word order.

{| class="wikitable"
! Direct question
! Reported question
|-
| Where do you live?
| He asked me where I lived.
|-
| Why are you applying?
| She asked why I was applying.
|-
| When can you start?
| They asked me when I could start.
|}

'''Useful frame:''' ''X asked + person + question word + subject + verb.''

{{#ev:youtube| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ0bMhta7RA |500|center}}

'''Viewing task:''' Listen for one reported question. Pause after you hear it. Write the direct question you think came first. Compare with a partner.

{{BR}}
== Core pattern 3: reported commands and requests ==

For a command, use '''tell + person + to + verb'''. For a polite request, use '''ask + person + to + verb'''.

{| class="wikitable"
! Direct words
! Meaning
! Reported form
|-
| “Close the door.”
| command
| She told me to close the door.
|-
| “Please send the file.”
| request
| He asked me to send the file.
|-
| “Don't use this password.”
| negative command
| She told us not to use that password.
|}

'''Negative pattern:''' ''told/asked + person + not to + verb''.

{{#ev:youtube| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0juuT6uDPc |500|center}}

'''Viewing task:''' Make a two-column note: ''command'' / ''request''. Add one example from the video to each column. Do not copy a full transcript.

{{BR}}
== Meaning first: change only what the new context needs ==

Pronouns and reference words depend on who reports the message and when.

{| class="wikitable"
! Direct
! Possible report later
|-
| “Can you help me today?”
| She asked me if I could help her that day.
|-
| “Bring this box here tomorrow.”
| He told us to bring that box there the next day.
|}

Possible changes include ''I → he/she'', ''my → his/her'', ''today → that day'', ''tomorrow → the next day'', ''here → there'' and ''this → that''. These changes are '''not automatic'''. Keep a word if the situation has not changed.

{{BR}}
== Backshift: a useful B1 tool ==

When the reporting verb is in the past, the tense often moves one step back.

{| class="wikitable"
! Direct form
! Common reported form
|-
| am / is / are
| was / were
|-
| do / does
| did
|-
| did / past simple
| had + past participle
|-
| can
| could
|-
| will
| would
|}

At this level, focus on clear meaning. If something is still true now, English can sometimes keep the original tense. In school tasks, check the time context carefully.

{{#ev:youtube| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-wTVCByxzk |500|center}}

'''Viewing task:''' Watch once for meaning. Watch again and note two tense changes. Explain one change in one English sentence.

{{BR}}
== Interview context ==

[[Datei:Team Meeting.jpg|500px|rahmenlos|center]]

'''Fictional interview:'''

Interviewer: ''“Why do you want this weekend job?”''
Ava: ''“I like working with people.”''
Interviewer: ''“Can you work on Saturdays?”''
Interviewer: ''“Please bring your school timetable next time.”''

'''Report:''' The interviewer asked Ava why she wanted the weekend job. The interviewer asked if she could work on Saturdays. The interviewer asked her to bring her school timetable next time.

'''Privacy rule:''' Use fictional names, fictional workplaces and fictional application data. Do not use private social-media information.

{{BR}}
== Workplace context ==

[[Datei:Employees discuss in office.jpg|500px|rahmenlos|center]]

Supervisor: ''“Could you check the stockroom before lunch?”''
Kim: ''“Where should I put the delivery notes?”''
Supervisor: ''“Please leave them on my desk.”''
Supervisor: ''“Don't email them.”''

'''Your job:''' Report the four messages. Decide which one is a question and which ones work as requests or commands.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
'''Hint 1:''' ''The supervisor asked Kim to ...''<br>
'''Hint 2:''' ''Kim asked where ...''<br>
'''Hint 3:''' Negative command: ''told ... not to ...''
</div>

{{BR}}
== Everyday context ==

Sam: ''“Are you coming to the sports centre?”''
Lea: ''“What time does it open?”''
Sam: ''“Meet me at the bus stop.”''
Lea: ''“Don't forget your water bottle.”''

'''Speak:''' Report the conversation to a third person in four short sentences. Then change one detail and report it again.

{{BR}}
= Listening and Viewing =

[[Datei:Microphone in SPNN Podcast studio.jpg|500px|rahmenlos|center]]

[[Datei:Wikipedia in the Classroom - Interview with Edinburgh University's Translation Studies MSc students (excerpt).webm|500px|center]]

'''Authentic clip:''' The speakers are adults and the language may be faster than your course examples. First listen only for who speaks and what the interview is about. On the second listen, note one question or key phrase. You do not need every word.

'''Round 1 – gist:''' In a video, identify who speaks, the situation and the main purpose.

'''Round 2 – language:''' Note only key words. Listen for ''asked'', ''told'', ''if/whether'', question words and ''to + verb''.

'''Round 3 – report:''' Tell a partner what one speaker asked or told another person to do.

'''Optional recording:''' You may record your own practice privately. Recording is voluntary. Do not upload it unless you actively choose to and have permission from everyone involved. Do not send private recordings or personal data to external AI services.

'''Message at a fictional youth café'''

Team lead: ''“Can you cover the front desk from 4 p.m.?”''
Nora: ''“Which tasks should I do first?”''
Team lead: ''“Check the booking list and call me if there is a problem.”''
Team lead: ''“Don't post customer names online.”''

'''Read and report:''' Write three or four sentences. Keep the meaning. You do not need every word.

'''Use it:''' Choose three chunks and make one mini-dialogue.

{{BR}}
= Pronunciation and fluency =

Clear speech is more important than sounding like a native speaker. Stress the key meaning words and keep small grammar words lighter.

''She '''ASKED''' me where I '''WORKED'''.''
''He '''TOLD''' us to '''WAIT''' outside.''

'''Fluency drill:''' Read a direct line. Pause. Report it in one breath group. Repeat with a new speaker and a new place. Do not aim for accent-free speech; aim for understandable speech.

{{BR}}
= Speaking =

[[Datei:Students interviewing a source.jpg|400px|rahmenlos|center]]

Work in groups of three: interviewer, applicant and reporter. Use fictional profiles.

# The interviewer asks two open questions and one yes/no question.
# The interviewer gives one request.
# The reporter listens without interrupting.
# The reporter gives a 30-second summary using at least two reported questions and one reported request.
# Change roles and repeat.

'''Spontaneous follow-up:''' The listener asks one new question: ''What else did the interviewer ask?'' or ''What did they tell the applicant to do?''

{{BR}}
= Writing =

[[Datei:Person writing in notebook while using laptop at a modern workspace.jpg|500px|rahmenlos|center]]

'''Task: workplace report, 90–120 words.''' Write a short report after a fictional team conversation. Include:

# one reported yes/no question,
# one reported wh-question,
# one reported request or command,
# one sentence about the result.

'''Useful start:''' ''During the meeting, Maya asked ... Later, Ben wanted to know ... The team lead told us to ...''

'''Improve your text:''' Keep your original version. Mark one change you made after feedback. Add a short note: ''I changed ... because ...''

{{BR}}
= Mediation =

Your German-speaking classmate missed a short English workplace briefing. Give the important meaning in German or simple English, depending on the task. Do '''not''' translate every word. Keep names and details fictional.

English briefing: ''“Can everyone finish the safety check by three? Please tell me if a machine is not working. Don't repair it alone.”''

'''Mediation goal:''' Pass on the three key points clearly. Then answer one follow-up question.

{{BR}}
= Help ladder =

'''Level 1 – key words:''' Find the speaker, listener, question word and action.

'''Level 2 – frame:''' Use ''X asked me if ...'' / ''X asked me where ...'' / ''X told me to ...''

'''Level 3 – model:''' Compare your sentence with one correct example from the toolbox. Then close the model and try again.

'''Level 4 – challenge:''' Change the speaker, time and place. Report the message again without help.

{{BR}}
= Feedback and error analysis =

Use short feedback that helps the next attempt.

{| class="wikitable"
! Check
! Feedback question
|-
| Meaning
| Did I keep the original meaning?
|-
| Word order
| Did I use statement order after ''if/whether'' or a wh-word?
|-
| Reporting verb
| Did I choose ''asked'' or ''told''?
|-
| Person
| Is the listener clear after ''asked/told'' when needed?
|-
| Reference
| Do pronouns, time and place words fit the new situation?
|-
| Fluency
| Can a listener understand me without guessing?
|}

'''Typical errors:'''

''She asked where did I work.'' → ''She asked where I worked.''
''He told to wait.'' → ''He told me to wait.''
''She said me to call.'' → ''She told me to call.''
''He told me don't open it.'' → ''He told me not to open it.''

'''AI check rule:''' If you use AI feedback, check grammar claims with your course examples or a reliable grammar source. Keep your own first draft. Do not enter private data, real application details or recordings.

{{BR}}
= Transfer =

Choose one new context: school project, sports club, part-time job, travel or family organisation. Create four direct messages, then report them later to another person. Your report should make sense even if the listener did not hear the original conversation.

{'''Vervollständige den Text.'''<br>
|type="{}"}
A reported yes/no question often uses { if } or whether. A reported wh-question keeps the { question word }. Inside a reported question, we normally use { statement } word order. A command can be reported with told plus a person plus { to }. A polite request often uses { asked } plus a person plus to-infinitive. A negative command uses { not } before to. Pronouns may change when the { viewpoint } changes. Time and place words change only when the new { context } makes this necessary.
