Questions in conversation.
Real conversations need more than one well-formed question. Keep a conversation going with follow-up questions, check what you think with question tags, and then soften or report questions with indirect forms, where the word order changes back to a statement.

What you'll learn.
- Ask natural follow-up questions and choose subject or object question order.
- Form question tags with the right auxiliary, modal or special subject.
