Answer:

1. Do you know if Diana went out last night?

2. Can you tell me where Augusto met with his brother?

3. Can you tell me how the movie was?

4. Do you know what the problem was?

5. Do you know why Teresa was so early?

6. Can you tell me where you live?

7. Can you tell me when your birthday is?

8. Do you know who she is?

Step-by-step explanation:

En inglés, preguntas indirectas normalmente empiezan por una pregunta extra que no es realmente necesaria. Es usada simplemente para hacer la frase más educada, cortés. Las preguntas más comunes son "Do you know" y "Can you tell me".

Si la pregunta original tiene una question word (who, what, where, when, etc.), debemos añadir la pregunta extra y eliminar los verbos auxiliares o cambiar su sitio en la frase si es necesario:

Who is there? - Do you know who is there?

Who did you see? - Can you tell me who you saw?

Who was she? - Do you know who she was?

Pero si la pregunta original no tiene question word y empieza por un verbo auxiliar, debemos eliminarlo y añadir "if":

Did you call me? - Can you tell me if you called me?

Do you like apples? - Can you tell me if you like apples?
