Grammar unit 8: Embedded Questions
We use these to ask questions in a direct way:
"How are you?"; How old are you?"; "Is it right, teacher?"...
But, sometimes, we have to ask those questions in a politely way.
When we talk with the teacher, with adults, or with strangers...we have to change our way of asking.
We ask: "Could you tell me how old you are?", or " Do you now if it is right?"
You can see that some elements have changed.
a. When we ask a question politely, we can use phrases at the start of the question such as
Can you tell me...
I wonder...
Do you know...
b. When we want to reproduce questions that start with a questions word (when, what, where, how, who...) we use the same question word (again).
Who invented the Penicillin?
Could you tell me who invented the Penicillin.
c. For yes/no questions we use IF/WHETHER.
Do you like Science?
I wonder if you like Science.
