10 分钟Hello there, and welcome back to the course.
We're now going to focus on the aspect of questions.
When we are learning the english language, it is important to remember that we're learning it for a reason, to communicate with people.
And one of the best ways we can communicate with people is to ask questions.
Particularly if we are in a city for the first time and we're looking for directions, or we're looking for some additional information, or even if we're making small talk with people, we want to know how to format the questions, what way we can ask them, so we can get the maximum amount of information.
So during this particular session, we're going to look at questions in a lot more detail.
There are about five aspects of questions that we want to look at.
We're going to split it into two particular sessions.
Session one, we will look at short or closed questions, as I like to call them.
So these are questions that simply get a yes or no response.
Do you like ice cream?
Yes or no?
Do you live here?
Yes or no?
So, very simple questions, and we'll look at the way we can format those particular questions.
And then we look at the opposite, the open or long questions.
And when we want to ask a long question, it's usually because we want to get some more or additional information.
And we're using words like what, where, when, how, why, and who.
So this is the, the way that we will ask those questions.
And then in the second session, we will take a look at tag questions.
