Question words before to-infinitives
We can use question words who, what, where, when, how before a to-infinitive to express a situation that it is difficult or uncertain.
Example:
We don`t know who we should contact.
→ We don`t know who to contact.
We often use the verbs ask, wonder, (not) be sure, have no idea, (not) know, (not) decide, (not) tell before the question word +to-infinitive.
Example:
I have no idea where to get this information.
Look out!
The question word why cannot be used before a to-infinitive.
Use:- Để thể hiện 1 tình huống khó xử hoặc không chắc chắn.
- Tường thuật những câu hỏi về điều gì đó nên làm.

Reported questions with question words before to-infinitives
Question words before to-infinitives can be used to report questions about something that should be done.
Example: `What should I do?` she said.

Look out!
To report Yes/No questions we use whether before to-infinitive. Remember if cannot be used in this case.

Decide as a whole class five questions you want to ask about the teacher. Then the class divides into two groups: one group stays inside the class and the other goes outside. The teacher will tell each group the answers to the questions. The class gets together again and in pairs you must report on what the teacher has told you.
