REPORTING QUESTIONS

When we report what people say, we usually change the tense of the verbs to reflect that we are reporting;This pattern is followed when we report questions and there are also other important changes between direct questions and reported questions 

YES/NO questions:

Direct question: Do you like working in teams?

Reported questions: He asked if I liked working in teams

We don't use auxiliary verbs.

COMPOUND NOUNS

They normally have two parts. The second part identifies the object or person in question (man, friend, tank, table, room). The first part tells us what kind of object or person it is, or what its purpose is (police, boy, water, dining, bed)

THE VS. NO ARTICLE

=The=

• Before nouns of which there is only one.
• Before a noun which has become definite as a result of being mentioned a second time.
• Before names of seas, rivers, chains of mountains, groups of islands and plural names of countries.
• Before musical instruments.

=No Article=

We do not use an article when we talk about plural nouns when we are talking generally.

INDIRECT QUESTIONS 

We used them when we want to make more polite questions. They have an opening phrase before the main question. Indirect questions DO NOT follow the question word order.

*For YES/NO questions, include IF/WHETHER after the opening phrase.

Sense

I think that each sense is important, because if you don´t have one it will be so strange and it could be so difficult to understand the others, but i know many people that don´t have one of the 5 sense and they can understand many people. For example my uncle don´t have one of these sense that is for visibility and he use the one that is used to hear and that identifies him to know who is the one that is talking to him.

If I had to eliminate one fo my senses i would not eliminate any of them, because they are part of me and I love myself, i woul to keep them and i coul do anything to keep my senses, they are importnant to me I couldn´t understand the people, well I would talk and understand the people but it could be so difficult to me to talk and difficult to them to undertand me.
