All right, I am telling a lie to you. I am not new here. I said so just to

help you learn to use the Indirect questions.

Now turn to page 87 first and look at the three sentences in the

Grammar Focus.

Have you noticed the word “where” and “how” used in the sentences. The questions introduced by

them are called the Indirect questions.

Now in pairs make similar sentences with “where” and “how”.

1a Matching things with places

On page 86 is a picture of a city. A visitor is asking someone questions about things to do at certain places. Now look at the picture and match each thing with a place.

1b Listening and completing

It is difficult to get around in a new place. Now listen to the recording and complete the dialogue in the picture on page 86.
