    This document provides examples of indirect questions that can be used to ask about information in a more polite or indirect manner than direct questions. Indirect questions typically begin with phrases like "Tell me", "I want to know", "Can you tell me", or "Do you know" followed by "if", "what", "when", "where", "why", "how often", "how much", or "which" plus the subject and verb. Some examples of indirect questions provided are "I don't know where my gloves are" instead of "Where are my gloves?", and "Have you any idea when you changed flats?" instead of "When did you change flats?".
