| 陳述句 | 問句 | |
| 直接引述 | 他說：「我是忠心的僕人。」 | 他問：「誰是忠心的僕人？」 |
| 間接引述 | 他說他是忠心的僕人。 | 他問誰是忠心的僕人。 |
在陳述句時，希臘文可有三種方式表達間接引述 (詳見第25課)
但是在問句時，它只有一種辦法：間接疑問詞 (上表第三直行) + 有限式動詞
(不過有時也會用直接疑問詞 [上表第二直行])
其他文法規則，間接問句與間接陳述句相同：
| 主句的動詞 | 引句的動詞 |
| 今將系統(primary tense) | 保留原句時態和語氣 |
| 往昔系統(secondary tense) | 或者 (1) 保留直述或假設語氣和時態
或者 (2) 保留時態但改成祈願語氣 |
