201 - Daily phrases: rough around the edges, turn a blind eye, do the trick, and more

Direct questions are the “normal” questions that we can ask to friends, family members, and people who we know well.  Example of a direct question:“Where’s the bathroom?” Indirect questions are a little more formal and polite. We use them when talking to a person we don’t know very well, or in professional situations, and their form is a little different. Example of an indirect question:“Could you tell me where the bathroom is?” In today's lesson, you'll learn how to form indirect questions in English - phrases to use, and the changes in sentence structure that make them different from direct questions.
