How to ask indirect questions in English ?? - Learn English with Harry

How to ask indirect questions in English ?? - Learn English with Harry Do you know how to ask indirect questions in English?  Firstly, we need to learn what an indirect question is. Then well learn what is the difference between direct and indirect questions. Lastly, well learn why it is better to ask indirect questions in English.   Direct and Indirect Questions in English Don't keep this to yourself, share it with the world! Thanks for joining me  again.Today,  were going to look again at some grammar.  Were going to look at how to ask indirect questions in English.  As you probably already know, there are two types of questions  in English.Direct and indirect.A direct question is usually:What is your name?How did you get here?Who are you?So very direct and often can sound a little bit rude.  We don’t want to sound rude, do we? And we also want to give someone a good feeling. So what do we do then? It’s really quite simple. All we need to do is to  change those direct questions into indirect questions.We just add some words or phrases at the beginning. This  takes the stress away from the who, what, where, when and turns them into indirect questions.So you sound more polite and  as a result  people are more likely to answer your question.So, particularly if youre a foreigner to English shores and you want to find some place, hotel, bank, airport, whatever it is, try and make your questions indirect.Youre more likely to get a response  and  more likely to get a positive response. Direct and Indirect Questions in English So let me give you these examples.Direct question:  Where is the post office?So if you stopped somebody in the street and asked them  a direct question like this, they might look at you, they probably would help you, but its not so polite.Let’s change it into an indirect question.Could you tell me where the post office is?Much, much more polite, much more likely to get you a positive response.And be very careful here when you see the direct question:Where is the post office?  Note the word order here, where the word is, okay?When we use the indirect question is goes to the very end of the sentence.Could you tell me where the post office is?So thats a really critical part of these indirect questions.That is a really important, because if you say it in another way, then itll  sound a  little bit strange and people will know that youre not a native speaker. Second example:Has John been invited to the party?   direct questionDo you know if John has been invited to the party? indirect questionAs I said, indirect question is more likely to get you a nice response. And again, here, look at where the verb is.And then the third example:How does this work? direct questionSo youre looking at some piece of machinery or mobile phone or some bit of technology and you just ask somebody  â€™how does this work?’    Its grammatically correct  but it sounds very rude.Let’s now turn that into an indirect question:Could you please explain how this works?Could you please explain how this works?Very indirect, very polite, and very definitely likely to get you the answer that you want.When we want to ask questions then  we try and avoid direct questions where possible. They  can come across as a little bit impolite even though you may not intend it that way. Thats often how they sound.Just by adding some nice phrases:Would you mind  â€¦  Could you ple ase  â€¦  Could I ask you  â€¦Is it possible  â€¦Do you know  â€¦you can change the sentence immediately into an indirect question.Now you know how to ask indirect questions in English.Enjoy your English!

Addiction Isnt Stupid Why Stigmas Arent The Cure

Addiction Isn't 'Stupid' Why Stigmas Aren't The Cure Photos Via News.com.au and Google.com Homeless people are lazy. Online daters are desperate. Depression isnt a real disease. Rape victims deserved it. Drug addicts are stupid. Whether or not you agree with any of the following social stigmas above, there are many people in this world who do and, sadly, those people tend to speak the loudest. Following the death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, there has been a mass amount of disgusting responses to the drug-induced tragedy than simply acknowledging his passing or the unfortunate reality of drug addiction and overdose. In 2010 there was an estimated 22.6 million Americans over the age of 12 that were current or former illicit drug users within the last month of when the survey was given, equating to about 8.9 percent of the population. After receiving much backlash on Twitter and other social networking platforms upon the actors death, the nation still feels the need to justify death and why people get what they deserve. If Health is much more than  not being able to find something wrong but how its about what people feel as stated by Dartmouth professor Dr. H. Gilbert Welch, then why do we still treat drug addicts like they are sinners in the hands of an angry God and not as suffers of an actual psychological disease? Photo Via Jezebel.com Well, there may be two reasons for that: 1. Humans unintentionally regress back to common negative examples of drug addictions they have seen or heard of before, also known as blindly giving into the availability heuristic. 2. Humans constantly pit against one another in terms of who has it the hardest. Using this reasoning, a human isnt allowed to feel sad or depressed if someone else has it worse than them (you have an anxiety disorder? Well guess what, there are starving children in Africa, so youre not allowed to feel bad about your crippling anxiety disorder). Photo Via Dailymail.co.uk As a culture, we are conditioned to see genocide, rape and random murders as sad, because they most certainly are. What some people fail to recognize is that the meaning of sad can be extended to accommodate other issues that may be stigmatized to be not considered sad, such as alcoholism, failing out of school, poverty, and in this particular instance, drug addiction. To justify ones idea that something is not sad, one may use the relative privation fallacy, a fallacy that attempts to make a scenario better or worse by comparing it to the best or worst case scenario. Using this justification, nothing can ever be sad if its pinned up against the Holocaust or brain cancer. Photo Via Twitter.com The reason this current controversy is, dare I say, a somewhat positive example, is because it illuminates the reality of drug addiction and aids in spreading awareness of addiction via the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman. This in turn may promote others to recognize their own condition or the condition of anothers and people may consequently seek help. Many disapprove of publicizing celebrity mental illness and addiction because they believe it glamorizes their troubled and harmful lifestyles, but theres too much evidence backing up the increase of people seeking help after Demi Lovato spoke about bipolar disorder  and Magic Johnson announced he tested positive for HIV.  The key idea to opening up about these unspoken aspects of human health is to, in return, open up the minds of others to recognize the normalcy of these conditions and how seeking psychological and psychiatric help is not something to be ashamed of. If the average person takes a step back  to recognize Philip  Seymour Hoffman, or any celebrity for that matter, as a human being of flesh and blood and not a cardboard cutout at your local Regal cinema, the realization that addiction is a serious physical and psychological issue may become a deeper knife wound rather than a senseless or stupid paper cut.

Climate Pack your sunscreen - Nanjing is one of the hottest cities in China! Temperatures in the summer can reach up to between 95 to 14 degrees Fahrenheit (35 to 40 degrees Celsius). With average temperatures in the winter falling around 75 degrees Fahrenheit, you can expect a mild and warm weather during the cooler months. Despite the hot weather in Nanjing, if you plan on traveling outside of the area it’s a good idea to bring some warm clothes, especially if you are traveling north during the winter. Transport Nanjing is a major transportation cross-point between the northern and southern parts of China. Because of this, the city boasts a great transportation system with many different ways to get around the city and explore different locations outside of Nanjing’s downtown. Trains. There are many options to get outside of Nanjing and travel to other areas of the country by train. Both regular and semi-high speed trains operate out of the Nanjing Railway Station. As well, the South Railway Station is a stop for high-speed trains in the city, that can take you to many other cities in China. Buses.

Although you’re going to find a lot of westernized shops with marked-up prices to match, it’s still a great area to spend an afternoon on weekends or days off. Xuanwu Lake is also a great place to explore during nice weather. The lake is a great spot to bring a book and relax, or escape from the rush of the city without leaving downtown.

January 28th is Data Privacy Day Choose Good Passwords and Hardware Wallets, Avoid Sensitive Posts Today, January 28th is data privacy day. This day should remind us to protect our privacy, control our digital footprint and even to keep our money safe. How do we do that? For starters, Choose Good Passwords A good password  consists  of at least three types of characters: lowercase letters [a-z], uppercase letters [A-Z]and number [0-9]. They are also at least 8 characters long. Visit passwordsgenerator.net to generate such a password, for example: Hf9lyIwury6WX4Mv Never pick a password from this list: 12345612345678passwordqwertyabc123111111iloveyouadobe123123123adminphotoshoppassword1trustno1000000 Social Media Understand that all of your posts, pictures and comments on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter is stored forever. Practically, advertisers and the government have access to this information, create profiles about you. They then can better target ads or classify you as potential security threat. Be aware of this and constrain your digital footprint to nonsensitive areas. Keep Money Safe If you do online backing, good passwords are crucial. Better yet, use two-factor authentication (2FA). Essentially, whenever you log into your backing account, a code is sent to an authenticator app on your phone. You must read this code and enter when logging. Should you be fortunate enough to own crypto currencies such as bitcoin, your private keys are of utmost importance. If you lose them, or they are stolen, then no one can help. Therefore, my recommendation is: Hardware Wallets: Use hardware wallets to keep your private keys safe. A hardware wallet is a flash drive like device, designed specifically for storing your bitcoins. The Nano Ledger or  Trezor  brands are good choices.   Rememberbetter safe than sorry.
