My name is Alicia, and today we're going to talk about how to express problems.

The Focus grammar point is going to be embedded questions, embedded questions and embedded question is like a question inside another question or incite a statement.

So I'm going to talk about how you can use these and how to make these to ask for help and to explain problems.

So a good grammar review lesson.

And please also make sure to like and share the video so that other people can find today's lesson Today, I'm going to talk about expressing problems with embedded questions.

So I'm going to share the video, actually, and then I'm going to begin today's topic.

Sue, uh, there it goes.

I have shared the video.

Then I'm going to begin today by explaining first, what is an embedded question?

Part two.

I'm going to talk about how to make embedded questions.

Embedded questions have kind of special grammar there, a little bit different from a basic question.

So I'm going to explain how to make them.

And then, third, I'm going to talk about some common patterns that we used with embedded questions.

Sue, let us begin.

Okay, All right, let's get started then.

So, uh, first, what is an embedded question?

Why did why should we care about this?

I mentioned embedded embedded questions are questions inside another question.

The word embedded means something.

Put inside something else.

So, for example, online, you might see like an embedded video in a blogger post.

So that means the video is inside a block post.

An embedded question.

Therefore, a nem bedded question in grammar is a question inside a statement or inside a question so we use embedded questions to make ourselves sound a little bit softer or when we want to kind of asked two questions at the same time.

This is what we use embedded questions to D'oh!

Okay, so let's take a look at some examples of statements and questions that use this grammar.

And then I'm going to talk about how we make these so some examples, these air embedded questions.

The embedded question in each of these is underlined.

I've underlined the question inside the statement or inside the question.

So 1st 1st example is, Do you know who stole my coffee?

So this part who stole my coffee?

This is like the basic things, like the original question we have.

The thing we want to know is who stole my coffee?

We put it inside this other question to ask that person if they know something.

So here you can kind of clearly, I hope, see this question inside another one.

But let's compare this then to the next example.

This one's not a question, but it's actually a statement.

So this example is I can't remember what my password is.

I can't remember what my password is so here.

What my password is this is the part that's like the embedded question or the problem that we need to solve.

And we state kind of the bigger issue with this.

I can't remember.

I can't remember.

So I'm going to talk about why this part of the sentence looks like this.

Like, why isn't it?

What is my password?

Why?

I'm going to talk about that in part.

To there's some special grammar rules happening here and here.

Actually, third example Sentence for this grammar is I wonder when my parents are going to arrive.

I wonder when my parents are going to arrive.

So again, the underlined part here is the embedded question.

So when my parents are going to arrive again, you'll notice this is different from a basic question.

When we want to ask this question, we would say it.

When are my parents going to arrive?

But again, we have some special grammar to consider here.

I'll talk about this also in part two fourth example.

Uh, can you tell me where I submit this form?

Can you tell me where I submit this for?

So to submit means like to turn something in.

Can you tell me where I submit this form Where I turn in this form?

So these are all examples of embedded questions.

So there's some question inside the sentence or inside another question.

This will be today's focus grammar.

Okay.

Uh, yeah.

Some people are sending some examples.

Like, do you know where something is?

Ah, but I noticed there are some mistakes that I see in the chat already.

So I'm going to talk.

I'm part to about how we make these correctly, of course correctly.

Eso Please send as your example sentences in the chat in part two.

I'm going to try to check them live.

They're so this isn't a These are embedded questions.

This is today's grammar point.

We're going to use them to express problems.

So let's take one quick break.

I will show you.

Ah, a couple things.

I will show you a couple things.

I did not show you earlier.

Uh, shall I stand here?

These are just a few examples of our free PDS for you to download.

They are separated by topic.

So depending on the topic that you find interesting, you can choose one of these.

You could download them, print them out with him on your phone, keep them on your computer, whatever you like to do on and study them to get some, uh, boosts for your grammar.

So on the back you'll find, uh, vocabulary words.

Sometimes there's, uh, phrases like expressions that you can use, so check these out.

Choose whichever one's look interesting to you.

They're all for free, so you can find these from the link below the video.

You could download them out.

If you're watching on Instagram, please check YouTube or Facebook, and I cannot see your comments live, you know.

Okay, so with that said, let's continue to part two for today's lesson.

Then I'm going to talk about how to make embedded questions.

If you have not already, please make sure to like and share the video.

Also, so other people confined to today's lesson.

Oh, righty.

Let's continue on its cell.

Hello from Mexico.

Welcome on Facebook.

Okay, let's go to part two.

So Part two.

Let's look at grammar rules, Ray.

Everyone's favorite grammar, grammar rules how to make embedded questions.

So I mentioned this grammar has, like, there's kind of special grammar when we, uh uh when we make these kinds of sentences and we make these kinds of questions.

So I've broken it into kind of two steps.

So if you think okay, I want to try to make this style question or I want it.

I want to use this grammar.

What should you So step one, What is the information that you want?

So what is the problem?

You want to solve some example?

So this is like, your original question.

What do you need to know or what are you looking for?

So, for example, who stole my coffee like I want to know who stole my coffee?

This is my basic question, maybe, or what is my password?

This is Maybe that's my problem.

I'm thinking to myself, What is my password?

This is my original question, or when are my parents going to arrive or where do I submit this form?

So first step is to think about your problem.

What is the information you need to get?

What is the information you're looking for?

That's what second then second step is to look at the verb in your question.

So remember, the verb is like the action.

Or in these examples, we need to focus on a couple of helping verbs do and be so is the verb in your question Ah, form of do or be?

This is a really important point for this grammar.

So let's take a look at the first sentence.

For example, in this sentence, who stole my coffee?

My verb is stole.

Stole.

So stole is the past tense form of steel.

Yeah, so I can answer no to this question.

Is the verb a form of do or be it stole?

So no, it's not.

If no, there's no change to your question.

You don't need to change this question.

You can put it in your sentence, or you can put it in your new question with no change.

So you get troops are so you get this sentence.

Do you know who stole my coffee?

So when I say no change, I mean, this part of the sentence does not change.

Who stole my coffee is the same as the original sentence.

Yeah, that's because this verb is not do and it's not be so.

That's that's easy enough, right?

But let's now talk about the next couple.

Actually, what is my password?

Let's take a look at this one.

So in this sentence, what is my password?

My verb is is is is is a form of be right.

So I need to look at a different rule.

My ver piers is and it's a form of be so yes, the verb being used is be if your verb is a beaver, but form of the verb to be Move that verb after the subject.

So what is my password?

Here's my verb.

My subject here is my password, my password.

So in this type of grammar, this is moves to the end of the sentence what my password is.

So when I say this question the original question, it's just what is my password?

That's a basic direct question.

If, however, you want to make an embedded question, you have to move this for to the position after your subject.

Thus, you create this sentence.

I can't remember what my password is, so that means you're changes just to move.

This verb is to the end or rather after your subject and then put it in your full sentence.

In this case, I can't remember what my password is.

This is the correct sentence here.

So again, this is with the verb to be.

Let's look at another example that uses this to beaver though his What?

When are my parents going to arrive?

When are my parents going to arrive in this sentence again?

Are this is a form of the verb to be amusing?

Are because my subject is my parents.

My parents.

So here again, I need to follow this pattern.

I need to follow this rule.

My verb used is a form of be so I need to move the verb after the subject.

In this case, it's our my subject is my parents my parents.

So the final sentence looks like this.
