Indirect Questions
Indirect questions czyli pytania pośrednie to takie pytania, w których używamy dodatkowych
zwrotów, aby nasze pytanie brzmiało bardziej uprzejmie. To oznacza, że najpierw używamy
kilku grzecznościowych słów, a dopiero potem przechodzimy do pytania właściwego.

jest częścią zdania oznajmującego.
