Question words before to-infinitives
We can use question words who, what, where, when, how before a to-infinitive to express a situation that it is difficult or uncertain.
Example:
We don`t know who we should contact.
→ We don`t know who to contact.
We often use the verbs ask, wonder, (not) be sure, have no idea, (not) know, (not) decide, (not) tell before the question word +to-infinitive.
Example:
I have no idea where to get this information.
Look out!
The question word why cannot be used before a to-infinitive.
3. Rewrite the sentences using question words +to-infinitives.
1. I don`t know what I should wear!
- ____________________________________________
2. Could you tell me where I should sign my name?
- ____________________________________________
3. I have no idea when we should leave for the bus.
- ____________________________________________
4. We`re not sure where we should hang the painting.
- ____________________________________________
5. He wondered how he could tell this news to his parents.
- ____________________________________________
6. They can`t decide who should go first.
- ____________________________________________
I don’t know what to do.
Could you tell me where to sign my name?
I have no idea when to leave for the bus.
We are not sure where to hang the painting.
He wondered how to tell this news to his parents.
They can’t decide who to go first.
Reported questions with question words before to-infinitives
Question words before to-infinitives can be used to report questions about something that should be done.
Example: `What should I do?` she said.
→ She wondered what to do.
Look out!
To report Yes/No questions we use whether before to-infinitive. Remember if cannot be used in this case.
Example:
“Should I tell my parents what I really think?” she wondered.
→ She wondered whether to tell her parents what she really thought.
4. Rewrite the following questions in reported speech, using question words before to-infinitives.

Tip: You may use the following verbs: ask, wonder, (not) be sure, have no idea, (not) know, (not) decide,
(not) tell.
They wondered how to use that support service.
He had no idea who to turn to for help.
Phong and Minh couldn’t decide where to park their bikes.
He was not sure whether to call her than.
They wondered what to do to make Linh feel happier.
Mai asked her mother when to turn off the oven.
Decide as a whole class five questions you want to ask about the teacher. Then the class divides into two groups: one group stays inside the class and the other goes outside. The teacher will tell each group the answers to the questions. The class gets together again and in pairs you must report on what the teacher has told you.
