Zeng Chenxiao 列举的第一句话，表达不正确，错就错在没有把疑问词和动词进行有效的转换。当我们把What’s the matter? 这句问话转换为一个陈述句时，就要说 He asked me what the matter was。请试试看，能不能把以下四句话从直接引语转换为间接引语，再从间接引语转回到直接引语呢?

What – What is her name? He asked me what her name was.

How – How can I find her number? He asked me how he could find her number.

Where – Where am I going to meet her? He asked me where he was going to meet her.

When – When can you finish the job? He asked me when I could finish the job.
