ASK (SOMEONE) + indirect question In some of the phrases below, an indirect object is optional: She didn't tell me what time she would be back. They told me that they would wait for me. Tell is usually followed by an indirect object and a direct object: He didn't say anything to me about the job. When we use to + indirect object after say, we do not normally use a that-clause: She didn't say what time she would be back. The direct object of say can be a noun, a that-clause ( that can be omitted in informal styles) or an indirect question (in negatives and questions when the information is not actually reported): ![]()
