Hey Esinu! Thanks very much! I'm really pleased your students like my explanation, that's so gratifying to here. Send them a big hello from me ;)

Hi Dan, I like your explanations very much. However, asking a person whether they know where they live sounds strange to me and I never heard it before. If someone asked me that exact question I would answer ironically "Oh, I forgot, let me call my mom and ask, she might know it" could you say mor about this question? What else would you ask in that way

Hello! Could you help me with this example, please ? How to make indirect qustion? How do I get to the station? ( Could you tell me ...)

[@anglopod]

"Could you tell me how to get to the station" or "Could you tell me how I get to the station"

Hi, Dan, I got a question, in the sentence WOULD you mind telling me, can I use DO instead of WOULD? Do you mind telling me

[@anglopod]

Hi Sean, good question. Normally they are interchangeable. You could use either one and the meaning would be pretty much the same, e.g. "Would you mind/Do you mind if I open the window". However, you could sometimes say just "Do you mind?!" to someone in an angry tone and it expresses the fact that you are angry with someone's behaviour. Otherwise, they are pretty much the same.

[@seanzhang876]

Anglopod Thanks a lot for your detailed and clear explanation!

[@anglopod]

My pleasure Sean!

Hi, could you help me to make indirect questions of following samples? Why don't you read books? Who told dad about my tattoo

[@anglopod]

Hi Alvin, sure... "Would you mind telling me why you don't read books?" "Would you mind telling me who told dad about my tattoo?"
