This document discusses indirect questions, which are used to sound more polite than direct questions. Indirect questions have an introductory phrase followed by the subject and verb without any auxiliaries. Examples of introductory phrases include "Do you know...", "Could you tell me...", and "I was wondering...". For yes/no questions, "if/whether" should be used after the introductory phrase unless the phrase contains a verb of opinion like "Do you think...". The document provides examples of transforming direct questions into indirect questions.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. FORMATION AND RULES
• When should we use indirect questions?
– When we want to sound more polite.
• What makes indirect questions different?
– They have an introductory phrase.
– Their form is SUBJECT + VERB, and no auxiliaries.
• Can you give an example?
– DIRECT: Where do you live? / What time is it?
– INDIRECT: Can you tell me where you live?
Do you know what time it is?
3. INTRODUCTORY PHRASES
• Do you know...?
• Could you tell me...?
• Can I ask you...?
• Do you mind me
asking...?
• Would you mind telling
me...?
*IF THE PHRASE IS A
QUESTION FORM, USE A
QUESTION MARK
...where you live ?*
4. INTRODUCTORY PHRASES
• I wonder...
• I was wondering...
• I don’t know...
• I’d like to know...
• I need to know...

6. Yes/no questions

yes/no question…
• Is this the Language
School?
• Do you like vegetables?
(the answer is yes or no,
so this is a yes/no
question)
…you must use
“IF/WETHER” after the
introductory phrase.
• Can you tell me
if/wether this is the
Language School?
• I wonder if/wether you
like vegetables.
7. EXCEPTION
