2. Direct Questions
Direct questions are the “normal” questions that
we can ask friends, family members, and people
who we know well.
Example of a direct question:
“Where’s the bathroom?”
“What’s up?”
3. Indirect Questions (p. 35)
Indirect questions are a little more formal and
polite.
We use them when talking to a person we don’t
know very well, or in professional situations, and
their form is a little different.
Example of an indirect question:
“Could you tell me where the bathroom is?”
“How are you today?”
4. Difference: Direct vs. Indirect
Direct Indirect
Begins with: Phrases:
• Who • Could you tell me…
• What • Do you know…
• Where • I was wondering…
• When • Do you have any idea…
** How ** • I’d like to know…
• Would it be possible…
• Is there any chance…
In general: Any question which does not start with “Wh” is indirect
