W tym zadaniu musimy uzupełnić dialogi pytaniami pośrednimi.
1 X: Can you tell me where the beach is?
Y: Yes, certainly. It's this way, around 500 metres from here.
2 X: I'd like to know how long elephants live.
Y: I'm afraid I can't help you with it.
3 X: Could you tell me when your dog was born?
Y: Well, we don't know exactly, but it was about six months ago, in May.
4 X: I'd like to know how long plants grow.
Y: Why don't you find the life cycle of a plant in your biology book?
Pytania pośrednie tworzymy, żeby być bardziej uprzejmymi. Różnią się one od zwykłych pytań pod dwoma względami:
- Zaczynamy je od frazy takiej jak I'd like to know..., I was wondering...
- Szyk słów w zdaniu przypomina zdanie twierdzące, a nie pytanie.
Na przykład:
Where is the bathroom? - Can you tell me where the bathroom is?
