Reported Yes/No Questions
To report a yes/no question, connect the introductory phrase to the question using si (if / whether).
Just like in English, the reported question drops the question mark and uses standard statement word order, getting rid of any inversion or est-ce que from the original direct quote.
| The manager asks if you have the right profile. | Le responsable demande si vous avez le bon profil. |
Interview Inquiries
This structure is very common in professional settings, like reporting what a manager asks during a job interview. Because the introductory verb demander (to ask) is in the present tense here, the tense of the reported question doesn't change from the original quote.
| The boss asks if the bilingual candidate is available. | Le chef demande si le candidat bilingue est disponible. |
| She asks if the position requires a new skill. | Elle demande si le poste exige une nouvelle compétence. |
| The boss asks if this skill is an asset. | Le chef demande si cette compétence est un atout. |
| He asks if you have good references. | Il demande si vous avez de bonnes références. |
| He asks if the resume indicates the qualification and the reference. | Il demande si le CV indique la qualification et la référence. |
