00:29
lesson. Today's lesson is using follow-up questions to improve your English
5

00:34
conversation skills. Let's go! Let's begin with what follow-up questions are:
6

00:41
follow-up questions are questions you asked another person to find out more
7
41219
4831
00:46
information about the same topic. For example, if the topic is your favorite
8
46050
4950
00:51
food, you might ask a question like: when you
9
51000
3390
00:54
usually eat your favorite food? How often you eat your favorite food? Why is that
10
54390
4919
00:59
your favorite food? Depending on the person's answers you can then ask
11
59309
6151
01:05
different follow-up questions to find out more information about the topic.
12
65460
4850
01:10
Using follow-up questions is super easy. Let's look at our examples again: when do
13
70310
6550
01:16
you usually eat your favorite food? How often do you eat your favorite food?
14
76860
4740
01:21
Why is that your favorite food? These examples all begin with "WH" question
15
81600
7019
01:28
stems. Check out the English Danny Channel video below in the description
16
88619
5011
01:33
about WH questions if you want to learn more about how to use them and the
17
93630
4559
01:38
grammar of WH questions. Remember our WH question stems are: who, what, when, where,
18
98189
10161
01:48
why, and how. Normal English conversations often use follow-up questions like these
19
108350
7420
01:55
because people want to find out more information about one topic before
20
115770
5129
02:00
moving on to another one. By getting comfortable with asking and answering
21
120899
4951
02:05
these questions you are preparing to have a normal conversation in English.
22
125850
4560
02:10
And it's very easy to do! Just use the WH question
23
130410
5060
02:15
stems to start off your sentences. Here's an example topic: let's think about two
24
135470
6480
02:21
people talking to each other. Person 1 and person 2: person 1 says "do you like
25
141950
6150
02:28
to watch movies?" Person 2 can answer something like "sure I like to watch
26
148100
5760
02:33
movies." The topic is movies, now look at some follow up questions on the topic
27
153860
5700
02:39
that use WH stems: What what kind of movies do you like? When when you usually
28
159560
8940
02:48
watch movies? Who is your favorite actor? Where where do you like to watch
29
168500
7410
02:55
movies? At home? At a theater? Why do you like this movie? Why do you like this
30
175910
7980
03:03
actor? How! How many times do you watch movies each month? How many times you
31
183890
6180
03:10
watch movies each week? Okay, so we're using the topic of movies,
32
190070
4380
03:14
and again we have two friends talking about movies. So here's an example of how
33
194450
5970
03:20
a conversation might go: Hey do you like to watch movies? Sure, I do.
34
200420
5460
03:25
What kind of movies do you like? I really like action movies. How often do you
35
205880
6330
03:32
watch movies? I watch movies at least once a month. Oh, that's interesting. Where
36
212210
6690
03:38
do you usually go to watch a new movie? I prefer to go to the big theater near my
37
218900
5220
03:44
house. Let's look at another example using the
38
224120
3840
03:47
topic of hobbies. We're going to use WH-questions to find out more
39
227960
4830
03:52
information and make the conversation a bit longer. Do you have any hobbies? Yes I
40
232790
6810
03:59
like drawing. Oh really? What do you like to draw?
41
239600
3780
04:03
I draw superheroes and action scenes. How long have you been drawing? I've been
42
243380
5850
04:09
drawing since I was eight years old. When do you usually draw? Anytime, but I
43
249230
5940
04:15
especially enjoy drawing in the afternoon after work. Here's how to
44
255170
5160
04:20
practice your own. First, think of a topic. Then,
45
260330
4240
04:24
write down some different questions using the "WH" stem words. Who, What, When,
46
264570
7500
04:32
Where, Why, How. Next, write down some answers to those questions. Finally,
47
272070
7440
04:39
practice reading the questions and the answers that you wrote. Okay, that's the
