Learning objectives

You know the difference between a separable and inseparable phrasal verbs . You are going to learn more about direct and indirect questions and the "preparatory it" 

You can use all of the correctly.

Indirect questions

Indirect questions

Indirect questions are more polite than direct questions. We use them to ask for information or favors.

Rule: Direct questions are often considered to be rude when talking to strangers. To be more polite, we use indirect questions.

Direct VS Indirect Questions

Direct question: Where is the bank?

Indirect question: Could you tell me where the bank is?

Notice that in the indirect question the verb ('is') comes after the subject ('the bank'), in the same way with a normal positive sentence ('the bank is over there'), but in the direct question the verb 'is' before the subject 'the bank'. 

This is called inversion, and it is used to make direct questions in many verb tenses in English, but we don't use inversion in indirect questions.

How to form an indirect question...

Indirect questions often begin with:

- Could/Can you
tell me ...;

- I'd be interested to know ....;

-  I’d like to know ...;

-  Do you know ...;

-  I was wondering ...;

- May I ask ...;

If there is no question word in the direct question and the question can be answered by yes or no, we need to use if (or whether) in the indirect question. For example: 

Who are you?

1. Direct question
2. Indirect question

This is a good indirect question:

1. Where are you going?
2. May I ask where are you going?

Excuse me, where are you from?

1. Direct question
2. Indirect question

What is the indirect question?

1. Is Peter home?
2. Did Ellen reply to your email?
3. Why are you crying?
4. Could you tell me how long the trip will take?

Preparatory IT

- In English, it sounds very formal and often unnatural to begin a sentence with an infinitive, an -ing form or a clause.

example:

That she failed her driving test was surprising 

To wash you hands before dinner is important

- It is far more common to begin this kind of sentence with  a "preparatory it".

example:

It was surprising that she failed her driving test.

It is important to wash your hands before eating.

Preparatory IT

- We use preparatory it with the verb 'take' followed by an infinitive to talk about duration.

It takes half an hour to walk to school.

We use preparatory it followed by an -ing form in the following expressions.

It's no use / little use/ not much use knocking, nobody's home.

It's not worth asking for a refund if you don't like the food.
