today we started new lesson: THROUGH TH GRAPEVINE.
At the begining I didnt undestand the meaning of that but looked at the dictionary, and it said:
1. The plant, a wine of genus Vitis, on wich grapes grow.
2. A rumor (this the righ meaning)
3. An informal person-to person means of circulating information or gossip.
Also Ms. Micaela told us that this expression refers to the way in wich information spread quickly from one personto another through a conversation. I means that you heard it unofficially. The information may be a rummor.

This is as indirect questions there isn´t inversion and the auxiliary do/does/did is not used.
Reported questions are one form of reported speech.

Direct question                          Reported question
She said: "Are you cold?"      | She asked me if I was cold.
He said: "Where's my pen?"  | He asked where his pen was.

We usually introduce reported questions with the verb "ask":

He asked (me) if/whether... (YES/NO questions)

He asked (me) why/when/where/what/how... (question-word questions).

Remember that there are basically three types of question:

1. YES/NO questions: Do you want tea?

2. Question Word questions: Where did you drink tea?

3. Choice questions: Do you prefer tea or coffee?

Reported choice questions have the same structure as Reported YES/NO questions. Questions with the verb BE always have a different structure: Was the tea cold? Where is my tea?.

The word but is one of the seven coordinating conjunctions in English (the others are and, or, so, for, nor, and yet). It’s used to connect two statements that contrast or contradict each other in some way.
When do I use a comma?
According to standard grammar, a comma is used before a coordinating conjunction to connect two independent clauses.
An independent clause is a clause with both a subject and a verb so that it can stand on its own. If the second clause does not contain a subject, then no comma is needed.
Example:

He liked the meal, but not the dessert. (No comma)

He liked the meal, but didn’t like the dessert. (No comma)

He liked the meal, but he didn’t like the dessert. (Here, the subject is listed both times, making both clauses independent. A comma is appropriate.)
