Scope note
- Indirect question (or indirect interrogative) clauses are questions inside a main clause or following a main clause. The same tense must be kept, and also the indicative mood (unless it is a deliberative question in subjunctive, in which case subjunctive tense must be kept). If, for instance, the original question is formulated in future tense, the verb of the indirect question will be in the future tense, regardless of the tense of the main clause. As in the cases of reported speech, the oblique optative can be used if the introductory verb is in a secondary tense, creating the so called secondary clause.
