Grammar Review Questions 1. If who/what/which is the subject of the sentence, we do not use do/does/did. 2. Direct questions are usually made by putting an auxiliary verb before the subject. 3. We often use indirect questions to ask for information or to be polite. The word order is different from a direct question. We often begin indirect questions with expressions like Do you know ... or Could I ask you.... 4. When a verb phrase has no auxiliary verb, the question is made with the auxiliary do: Do you live in Paris? (I live in Paris.) Match the rules 1-4 with the examples a-d.
d) Do you mind if I ask you what your weaknesses are? |
