Grammar Challenge (Learn English)

Grammar Challenge (Learn English)

Improve your English grammar with the BBC. Each week we challenge an English language student on an area of the English language such as verb forms, tenses, prepositions and pronunciation. Listen to a short presentation on the topic then try to answer the questions. The programmes are recorded on location in an English language classroom. Each episode lasts for six minutes and is made available every Friday.

  • Grammar challenge: Indirect questions 20 Nov 09

    Fri, 20 Nov 09

    Duration:
    7 mins

    There's more than one way to ask a question. Indirect questions are more polite and don't need a change in word order in the main question. Our challenger is Masa from Japan who plays the role of a Tour Rep passing on questions from a rude tourist in a more polite form to a hotel receptionist.
