called me and asked that she want to join vs called me and asked that

The first phrase, 'called me and asked that she want to join,' is incorrect. The correct form would be 'called me and asked if she wanted to join.' The second phrase, 'called me and asked that,' is a fragment and needs to be followed by a request or statement.

called me and asked that she want to join

This phrase is incorrect. The correct form should use 'if' instead of 'that' and 'wanted' instead of 'want.'

The correct form is 'called me and asked if she wanted to join.' Use 'if' to introduce the reported speech and 'wanted' to maintain the correct tense.
