Editor's Notes
- Listening level 3
- Understanding Interrogatives
- Do you like to play catch ball? Well, basic communication is a lot like playing catch ball. If your friend throws the ball, you need to catch it, right? The same is true of communication. We need to hear the words that are thrown at us. Then we can respond. Asking questions is one way of responding. Many of the question words, or “interrogatives,” sound alike because they usually being with “w.” In this lesson, we will introduce the skills you need to hear, or “catch,” the correct interrogative used in your catch ball conversation.
- Understanding interrogatives To understand interrogatives, you need to learn how to do the following: Getting used to the way interrogatives sound Integrating interrogatives with other parts of speech 5W1H questions: the beginning is key
- The first most important thing to do is to get used to hearing interrogatives. It’s very common to only be able to recognize interrogatives by their spelling on paper. If you could read “what” you could easily see that it looks different from “why.” But it’s not so easy to be able to hear which interrogative was said. On top of that, the pronunciation of interrogatives is different in the US. Australia, Great Britain, and other English speaking countries. So it’s also important to get used to each kind of English pronunciation.
- Let’s practice! What, when, which, who, where, why, whose, how
- Maybe you can already tell interrogatives apart, which means you can hear the difference between what, who, why, where, when, which, whose and how. However, it does not 100% mean that you can answer every question you are asked correctly. There are many English expressions which use a combination of interrogatives and adjectives. When interrogatives are paired with adjectives, we need to remember that the pronunciation of adjectives are usually a bit stronger. And in other situations, interrogatives are also paired with prepositions.
- [Practice 1] How long are you going to stay in Japan? PLEASE ADD SOME EXPLANATION
- [Practice 2] For what reason did she get angry at you? PLEASE ADD SOME EXPLANATION
- [Practice 3] At which speed does she usually drive a car? PLEASE ADD SOME EXPLANATION
- Like questions featured on the TOEIC Part 2, sometimes is the case that because you can’t hear the Interrogative at the beginning of a sentence, you can’t understand that you were just being asked a question. So let’s suppose you weren’t able to hear the Interrogative. You might still be able to guess which Interrogative was used, just by looking at the vocabulary that follow the interrogative you didn’t hear. However, take note: in English sentences, there can sometimes be more than one interrogative used.
- OK, time to introduce the methods for guessing interrogatives. Let’s look at this example sentence. [Example] ( ) is that building over there for? If it’s a question about the building itself, asking about the character or location of the building, “what” or “why” would seem good to use here. And if we look at the words “over there,” we know that the location has already been specified, so “where” as an answer choice would be unnatural to use. As for “what,” if we notice “for” is being used at the end of the sentence and are aware of the expression “what～for,” we can see that “what” is the best choice for the missing interrogative.
- [Practice 1] A: ( ) are you thinking about? B: Nothing special. A: What are you thinking about? B: Nothing special.
- [Practice 2] A: ( ) went to the party with her? B: Her father did. A: Who went to the party with her? B: Her father did.
- [Practice 3] ( ) of these shirts would you like? Which of these shirts would you like?
- [Practice 4] ( ) do you think she did not come to the party tonight? Why do you think she did not come to the party tonight?
