Learning how to ask questions.
“I know what I want to ask...I just don’t know how to ask it.”
One of the most important things to think about when phrasing your question is...‘get to the point’. Make your questions as direct as possible.
Make your questions as direct as possible.
Try to begin your sentences with:
“Can you re-phrase...?”
“I don’t understand what you meant by...?”
“I’ve never... before. Can you show me how to ...?”
“Can you repeat that?”
“Could you write that down for me?”
“What did you mean by...?”
“How do I...?”
For example:
Your boss asks you to “grab that load of wood over there and pile it out back”. You look around and see the wood he’s talking about but are not sure where he wants it piled ‘out back’. How would you ask him? What would you say?
