He ask: “Are you OK?” He asked me if I was OK.

f) П итальні речення, відтворені непрямою мовою, називаються непрямими запитаннями. Непрямі запитання мають структуру розповідного речення: в них прямий порядок слов(присудок ставиться після підмета).
При перетворенні прямої мові на непряму загальне запитання замінюється підрядним реченням, що з”єднується з головним за допомогою сполучників if або whether.
I asked him: “Do you know the boy?” I asked him if he knew the boy.
He asked me: “Have you had lunch?” He asked me whether I had had lunch.

При відтворенні непрямою мовою спеціальних запитань питальні слова(займенники і прислівники) стають сполучними словами:
He said to me: “Why didn`t you come?” He asked me why I hadn`t come.
She asked him: “Where have you been?” She asked him where he had been.
