7e Look at this example from the letter:
I would be grateful if you could send me some more details.
This is a polite way of re-phrasing the question: Can you send me some more details?
We need to change the word order when we introduce a question with expressions like: Could you tell me …
Please let me know …
I would be grateful if you could let me know …
The changes are the same as with reporting questions, and we either repeat the question word or use whether.
| Rewrite these questions as in the example above. 1. When does the next train leave? Could you tell me when the next train leaves? 2. Does the train stop at Reading? Do you know whether the t rain stops at Reading? 3. Have you any rooms available on the 18th? I would be … 4. Is there anywhere I can get an evening meal? Could you tell … 5.
