Reported questions

In Reported speech there is no question anymore, the sentence becomes a statement.
That's why the word order is: subject - verb

• Questions without question words (yes/no questions):

Peter: "Do you play football?" - Peter asked me (if) I played football.

• Questions with question words:

Peter: "When do you play football?" - Peter asked me when I played football.
