Help the frustrated detective complete his case notes by choosing the correct phrase for each gap.

"I asked the witness exactly how large the ship was."

"He completely refused to tell me where the aliens went."

"I asked the witness exactly how large the ship was."

In an indirect question, the subject ("the ship") must come before the verb ("was"). "How large was the ship?" is only correct as a direct, standalone question.

"He completely refused to tell me where the aliens went."

Indirect questions do not use "do/does/did" for past or present simple tense. We drop the "did" and put the main verb straight into the past tense ("went").
