DIR IND QUESTIONS GOOD Form and meaning If we do not begin a question directly, but begin it with something like Can you tell me...? Do you know...? I wonder if...? the word order is the same as in an affirmative statement. Direct question: What is he doing? Ideas for teaching indirect questions How do you teach indirect questions? Rude: Tell me what time it is! Rude: Give me a pen! Rude: Move! So lesson is: 1) be rude, 2) what can we say to be polite (Could you..., I was wondering if...?) Getting students to transform real questions into indirect questions is very confusing for them - and artificial since the basic underlying sentence is a command, not a question.
