📌 المفكرة الذهبية وفخاخ الوزارة
كتاب اللغة الإنجليزية Pupil's Book
💡 مفاتيح الحصة (أهم 3 أفكار وزارية):
- Yes/No Questions Reporting: If the direct question has no question word, use if or whether to link the clause: 'Are you ready?' → She asked if I was ready.
- Deleting Auxiliaries (do/does/did): With a past reporting verb, delete do/does and shift the main verb to past simple; delete 'did' and shift the verb to past perfect (had + V3): 'Did you see Ahmad?' → He asked if I had seen Ahmad.
- Statement Word Order: The clause following if/whether must always be in affirmative/statement order: Subject + Verb.
⚠️ فخ الوزارة (انتبه لا تخطئ هنا):
When reporting a question starting with 'Did...' after a past reporting verb, delete 'did' and shift the main verb to past perfect (had + V3), NOT past simple!

In these exam examples, assume a past reporting context and apply the normal backshift. In general usage, backshift and changes of time or place depend on whether the information and context are still current.
