Warming up by learning grammar
Hello everyone. I am a strange here in this city. Could you tell me how to
get to the supermarket?
All right, I am telling a lie to you. I am not new here. I said so just to help you learn to use the Indirect questions.
Now turn to page 87 first and look at the three sentences in the Grammar Focus.
Do you know where I can buy shampoo?
Could you tell me how to get to the post office?
Could you please tell me where I can get a dictionary?
Have you noticed the word “where” and “how” used in the sentences. The questions introduced by them are called the Indirect questions.
Now in pairs make similar sentences with “where” and “how”.
Do you know where I can go hiking in the mountain?
Could you tell me how to have a good time in a big city?
Could you please tell me where I can find a good English teacher?
