Reporting yes/no questions
When someone asks a yes/no question and you want to tell someone else about it, use the verb preguntar (to ask) followed by si (if). Unlike direct questions, you don't need question marks around the reported part of the sentence.
| The woman does a survey and asks if I know the brand. | La mujer hace una encuesta y pregunta si conozco la marca. |
| The man asks if the consumer has a daily habit. | El hombre pregunta si el consumidor tiene una costumbre diaria. |
Adjusting perspective
When relaying a question that was directed at you or your group, remember to change the pronouns and verb endings to match the new perspective. For example, a direct question like "Do you consume it?" becomes "They ask us if we consume it."
| They ask us if we consume this brand. | Nos preguntan si consumimos esta marca. |
| The girl from the survey asks if you consume the product. | La chica de la encuesta pregunta si consumes el producto. |
Relaying multiple questions
Consumer surveys often ask multiple questions at once. When reporting these, repeat si for each new question or condition, connecting them with y (and) or o (or).
| The boss asks if we rate the service and if it is satisfactory. | El jefe pregunta si valoramos el servicio y si es satisfactorio. |
| The girl asks if the packaging is new or if it is broken. | La chica pregunta si el envase es nuevo o si está roto. |
