7. The students in teams, or in pairs, ask and answer questions based on the text.
A farmer, Isaac Jones, reported having seen a UFO. A scientist from the Centre for Extraterrestrial Activities interviewed him. It was around 11 pm and Isaac was out on the porch. All of a sudden he saw the sky light up. Then an object like a huge plate appeared out of nowhere. The horizon turned into a rainbow of colours. He was shocked. His wife came out. She started screaming because she thought they were being invaded by Martians. A strong wind started blowing. The lower part of the plate was surrounded by flames. It all lasted about five minutes. It was his wife's idea to contact the centre. They knew it was a UFO because it looked so strange.
Team A: What time was it?
Team B: Around 11 pm.
Team A: Where was Isaac?
Team B: Out on the porch.
8. Indirect Questions
Do you know...? Do you know how old Sam is?
Can/Could you tell me...? Could you tell me how long it takes to get there?
Have you any idea...? + question word or if/whether. Have you any idea when she is leaving? Do you know if/whether there are any vacancies here?
The word order of indirect questions is the same as in statements (subject + verb).
Turn the following into indirect questions.
What flavour is this drink? Can you tell me......
Why isn't Bob here yet? Do you know..........
What is the price of the car? Could you tell me

9. Negative Questions
Negative questions are formed with not but there is a difference in word order between the short and full form.
(Short form) Didn't they inform you? Haven't they returned yet? (auxiliary + n’t + subject + verb)
(Full form) Did they not inform you? Have they not returned yet? (auxiliary + subject + not + verb)
We normally use the short form in everyday speech and the full form only for emphasis.
Negative questions are used to express:
a)surprise Don't you know who Pele is?
b)annoyance/sarcasm Can't you keep quiet for a second?
c)expectation of a "Yes"-answer Don't you think she's rather mean?
In the following dialogues, make negative questions using the words given and decide if the expected response would be Yes or No, as in the example:
1. |
