Things to Remember 3: Word Order

Indirect Questions

A quick note from some recent homework. Be careful in formal writing if you are making a request:

Step 1:Some politeness

I would like to know...

I was wondering if you could tell me...

I would be grateful to know...

(or even more informally)

Please let me know...

Step 2:

A question word

...where/when/how long/if...

Step 3:

The trap!

...you will be staying.

NOT

"...will you be staying?"

Remember to "lose" the question word order and the question mark.

Things to Remember 2: Space...

Presentation Matters

Remember, there is a Distance Test for writing. Can you -

1. - count the number of paragraphs in your writing from a couple of metres away?
2. - get someone to tell you what it is (letter, article) from how it looks from a distance?

Stand on the far side of your living room and look at your writing to check!
