Snowfall & Embedded Questions

from Inside English Podcast Hosted by Sandra Sharpe

This episode begins with a nostalgic reflection on the excitement of snow and the joy of snow days in childhood, then shifts to a practical grammar lesson in which I explain embedded questions: what they are, why they sound more polite than direct questions, and how to use them with examples and tips on "reading the room." Enjoy!
