Hi everybody, my name is Alicia.
2
In this lesson, we're going to look at the three words ask, request, and question.
3
We're going to break down the different parts of speech and the different patterns we use when we use these words.
4
So, let's get started.
5
First, I want to talk about the word ask.
6
First, I want to look at the verb form of the word ask.
7
Most of the time when we say ask, we're using the verb form.
8
So, what does this mean?
9
To ask means to look for information.
10
So we use this word when we need to get information from someone.
11
We can also use ask to mean to make a request.
12
So you need someone to do something for you or you need someone to maybe make arrangements for you for something.
13
We can use it for requests as well.
14
So let's take a look at some example sentences
15
and then we'll talk about the basic patterns that we use with this verb.
16
Okay, let's take a look at the first example sentence.
17
The first example sentence is, I asked my friend to help me with my homework.
18
Here, we see the past tense form of the verb, asked.
19
After this is my friend.
20
So, in this sentence pattern, this is the person receiving the verb, the action of the verb.
21
So, the person doing it is I, me, and then the person receiving is my friend.
22
I asked my friend to help me.
23
So, in this case, we are making a request.
24
Let's look at the second example sentence.
25
He asked me for an update.
26
He asked me for an update.
27
Again, we have the past tense form of the verb.
28
Here, the person doing the asking, the person acting is him, he, and the person receiving is me.
29
He asked me for an update.
30
So, in this case, we are looking for some information, right?
31
Or we are requesting information in this case.
32
So different up here, we saw request, or sorry, we saw a request for help in this case, or I asked my friend to help me.
33
So here we see an action.
34
Here we see information, information request.
35
Okay, next example sentence.
36
Let's ask the hotel staff for restaurant recommendations.
37
So, a suggestion here, let's ask the hotel staff for recommendations.
38
The verb here is just the base form, let's ask, right?
39
And the person or the people receiving the request are the hotel staff.
40
Again, we are looking for information here.
41
What do we want?
42
Restaurant recommendations.
43
Let's look at the last example sentence, and then we'll take a look at some grammar patterns we use here.
44
So, I asked for a raise last year.
45
I asked for a raise last year.
46
Again, past tense.
47
In this sentence, though, there's no person here, right?
48
We see I asked for a raise.
49
A raise means an increase in your pay, in the money you receive from your job, right?
50
So I asked for a raise last year.
51
Okay, so now that we've looked at these example sentences, let's take a look at the grammar patterns that we see here, because these are really important,
52
as you'll see later in the lesson, it's really important to know how to use these prepositions and the other words with the verb ask.
53
So the first pattern I want to look at is ask for noun phrase.
54
Ask for noun phrase.
55
We saw this in the last sentence here.
56
I asked for a raise, right?
57
So in this sentence, we are asking for information or we're looking, we're making a request from someone,
58
but we don't mention the target of the request.
59
We don't say, I asked my boss, or I asked my manager, or I asked the CEO, right?
60
We just want to note the topic, right?
61
The thing we requested, what we were looking for.
62
So we can do this with ask for noun phrase, yeah?
63
We could do the same thing with this sentence pattern as well.
64
Like, let's ask for restaurant recommendations.
65
We could remove this part here.
66
Let's ask for restaurant recommendation.
67
So we don't always have to make it clear who we want the information from.
68
We can do this with this pattern.
69
Ask for noun phrase.
70
The second pattern though uses a person.
71
So when you want to make it clear who you are talking to, who you have questions for, you can use this pattern for information.
72
When you want information, you can use ask person for noun phrase.
73
Ask person for noun phrase right here.
74
This preposition is very important.
75
So, let's ask the hotel staff for restaurant recommendations, right?
76
We are looking for information from a person or a group of people.
77
The second example sentence also does this.
78
He asked me for an update, right?
79
So, asked me, the person, for is the preposition here, and then our noun phrase is the update.
80
He asked me for an update.
81
So, this is when you want to get information from someone, okay?
82
The last pattern here is ask person to verb.
83
Ask person to verb this is
84
when you want to request someone do something you want someone to take an action of some kind
85
so ask person to verb we saw this in the first
86
example sentence I asked my friend to help me right I
87
asked my friend to help me in this case with my homework
88
so we see again the same pattern ask plus person However, our preposition here is to.
89
We cannot use for here.
90
I asked my friend for help me is totally incorrect.
91
Can't say that.
92
So, I asked my friend to help me.
93
If you want to use this pattern, use the verb ask to make a request for action,
94
please make sure to use the to preposition here and a verb.
95
Okay, great.
96
So, this is the verb ask.
97
Lastly, I want to make one more point about this word before we go to the next word in this lesson.
98
And that's about something that's kind of rare.
99
It's not super common.
100
However, if you maybe talk to British English speakers, or maybe even in some kind of business or professional situations,
101
you might hear ask used in the noun form sometimes too.
102
But there's a very specific way that we use it as a noun.
103
So as a noun, it means a request or a favor, but we tend to use it in situations where it's a big favor
104
or a really big request or something kind of dramatic or extreme.
105
So here's an example conversation of this use of ask as a noun.
106
So person A might say, he told me he needs to borrow $10 ,000.
107
A lot of money, right?
108
And person B could respond, wow, that's a big ask.
109
So ask in this way sounds like request.
110
Wow, that's a big request.
111
But ask tends to be used in this case.
112
We don't really say, wow, that's a big request.
113
We often will say, wow, that's a really big ask.
114
I'm not sure about that.
115
We tend to use it in situations like this where we're kind of surprised about how extreme
116
or how large or how intense something is.
117
So you may hear this from time to time especially in like movies
118
and in media so please keep in mind this use is not super common
119
but you might hear it from time to time okay great
120
so this is how we use ask i want to compare this now to the verb request
121
so let's take a look at the verb form of request
122
and then we'll look at the noun form as well so verb to request to request means to ask for something.
123
So there is some overlap, there are some similarities in how we use these two verbs, right?
124
So let's take a look at the example sentences
125
and then we'll look at the grammar patterns we use with this verb too.
126
So first example sentence, we requested a table near a window for our dinner reservation.
127
So we requested a table near a window, okay?
128
Past tense here.
129
And then after this is a table.
130
We have this noun phrase after it.
131
This is the thing we are asking for, right?
132
So this is different from ask, right?
133
We have this object we want after the verb, immediately after the verb, right?
134
Okay, so let's look at the next example.
135
She requested an afternoon appointment.
136
She requested an afternoon appointment.
137
Again, past tense she requested.
138
And then we have our noun phrase here, an afternoon appointment.
139
So what did she want?
140
What did she ask for?
141
An afternoon appointment.
142
Okay.
143
Finally, last example sentence here, the university requested our professor give a presentation.
144
So in this sentence, again past tense, but here we have a person.
145
The university requested our professor give a presentation.
146
In this case, we are asking or requesting someone to do something.
147
So you can probably see we can use the verb request in a very similar way to the verb ask, yeah?
148
But we need to follow a few different grammar patterns to make these sentences correctly.
149
So let's take a look at these and compare them to the patterns we used with ask.
150
Okay, so the grammar patterns we see here are request plus noun phrase, right?
151
Okay?
152
So.. request a table.
153
We requested a table near a window, right?
154
So the noun phrase or just the noun in this case is directly after the verb.
155
We see this in the second example too.
156
She requested an afternoon appointment.
157
So that's our noun phrase.
158
It's directly after the verb here.
159
Remember when we talked about this kind of pattern, when we talked about a noun phrase type pattern with ask,
160
we use this for, ask for noun phrase, but we don't have this for here.
161
We don't say requested for something.
162
We just directly use the noun phrase after the verb.
163
So not we requested for a table, incorrect.
164
Or she requested for an appointment, no, incorrect.
165
No for here.
166
So this is one difference between request and ask.
167
Second one then.
168
The second pattern here is request plus person and verb.
169
Request, person, verb.
170
We see this in the third example sentence here, right?
171
The university requested our professor give a presentation.
172
So in this case, we are looking at a request, someone asking someone else to do something, right?
173
So we have request, person, and verb.
174
You'll notice in this pattern though, again, there's no preposition we saw over here in our action
175
request pattern we had ask person to verb we don't have
176
the preposition here right the university requested our professor to give
177
a presentation we don't use to there you may sometimes see
178
people using to in this position in kind of non -standard forms of english
179
but generally we do not put a to here so
180
if you want to use this pattern to talk about asking someone else to take action, you can use request, person, and verb, this pattern here.
181
Okay, great.
182
So next I want to take a look at the noun form of request.
183
So a request as a noun is something asked for, right?
184
Something we want, right?
185
So let's look at some example sentences so you can see how this word changes, the grammatical structure of the sentence changes.
186
So, I made a request for a new office chair.
187
I made a request for a new office chair.
188
So, we have request here as a noun.
189
Yeah, I made a request.
190
And we need to use a different verb when we want to use request as a noun.
191
In this case, I have made.
192
So, it's very common to say to make a request for something.
193
Also, you'll notice for comes after the noun, a request for the thing you want, okay?
194
Let's look at one more example of this.
195
Her request for time off was approved.
196
Her request for time off was approved.
197
Again, this one is the noun form, her request.
198
In this case, what did she ask for?
199
Time off, right?
200
So, this follows the preposition for,
201
Okay, so some common patterns I want to point out with the noun form of request are to make a request.
202
This is often the verb we use.
203
I want to make a request for something.
204
Or you might also hear in more casual situations or in like work or school situations, to put in a request for something.
205
This is used like in this situation, like when you want a new something at work or you want to get time off, that kind of thing.
206
You might also hear to submit a request for something as well.
207
Generally, I think the make a request pattern is probably the most common one here.
208
But please note, we always use for after this to describe the thing that we want, that we're looking for.
209
Okay, great.
210
So with ask and request in our minds, let's move on to the third word for this lesson, which is quite different from the first two.
211
So the last word is question, question.
212
So we can use question as a verb and as a noun.
213
So I want to start by talking about the verb form
214
because it has some very different meanings from the ones we've talked about so far in this lesson.
215
So there are two I want to focus on today.
216
First is to ask about something.
217
So when we question someone, we ask someone questions about something, okay?
218
So this might sound a little bit confusing, like why do you, aren't you saying the same thing twice, right?
219
But kind of a feeling when we use question as a verb, it's kind of like saying we're asking someone many questions about something.
220
We're asking a lot of things, but we only have to use one verb to express that.
221
So this might be confusing, so let's look at the example.
222
Here, the police questioned the suspect about the robbery.
223
The police questioned the suspect about the robbery.
224
So suspect, the suspect means someone that.. the police thinks did a crime, okay?
225
They did something bad.
226
So it's not confirmed, but they think this person might be the bad guy or bad girl.
227
So the police questioned, past tense here, questioned the suspect.
228
So questioned the person about the topic, the robbery in this case.
229
So we have questioned here.
230
The use of this verb makes it sound like the police asked a lot of things, but we use only one, right?
231
Questioned means they asked many, many questions, not just one.
232
So this is the purpose.
233
This is the usefulness of the verb question.
234
Let's look at one more example.
235
The CEO was questioned about the company scandal.
236
The CEO was questioned about the company scandal.
237
Here we have a passive sentence structure, right?
238
Who questioned the CEO?
239
We don't know or it's not important.
240
We want to focus on the situation with the CEO.
241
So the CEO was questioned about plus the topic of the question.
242
So about the company scandal.
243
So this is one way that we use the verb to question.
244
It means to ask many, many things.
245
Okay.
246
Though the second one, the second use of the verb question is quite different.
247
We can use to question to mean to doubt something when we're not sure about something, or when we maybe feel like something isn't right,
248
we can use to question to express that.
249
So let's look at these examples.
250
I question your reasons for quitting your job.
251
I question your reasons for quitting your job.
252
This means like, I doubt your reasons for quitting your job, or your reasons for quitting your job are not clear to me, they don't make sense to me.
253
We use the verb question to express this uncertainty, to express this doubt.
254
One more example sentence.
255
Sometimes our team questions our manager's judgment.
256
Sometimes our team questions our manager's judgment.
257
So your manager's judgment.
258
Judgment means the ability to make good decisions.
259
Yeah.
260
So sometimes our team questions our manager's judgment.
261
Means sometimes our group, our work group, doesn't really think that our manager has a good sense of how to make good decisions.
262
So this use of question is quite different from the first use of question, but they're both very commonly used.
263
The first one tends to be used more in news articles, like I talked about crime -related topics or scandal -related topics,
264
something that like an official group, like the police or an investigative group, they need to ask someone a lot of questions about something, in those kinds of news articles,
265
this use of the verb is very common.
266
This one, when we use it to talk about doubt, it might be more in interpersonal situations, like kind of dramatic or extreme life situations, perhaps, too.
267
Okay, so last, let's take a look at the grammar patterns that we see here, and then we'll finish up with a very, very easy point, maybe that most people are comfortable with.
268
So let's look at the grammar patterns we use with the verb forms of question here
269
so first is question person about topic question person about topic we see this pattern in these two example sentences
270
so when we want to ask many questions to someone
271
so we ask a lot of questions about a specific topic
272
we use this pattern to do it question the person and sometimes we don't include this part about topic.
273
So in this sentence, for example, the police questioned the suspect.
274
In some cases, when the situation is clear, like we know there was a robbery or whatever, if you're reading a news article, sometimes you just see this sentence,
275
the police questioned the suspect.
276
So maybe we already know it's about the robbery.
277
So sometimes we don't include the topic if we understand it from the situation.
278
But if you want to include that, to be clear, you say about and the topic.
279
So about the robbery, about the noun phrase, whatever it is.
280
Okay, the second pattern that we see is just question and noun phrase.
281
So that's used in this situation when we want to express our doubt about something.
282
Question plus noun phrase.
283
In this situation, in this sentence, we see I question your reasons.
284
So your reasons is the noun phrase.
285
So I doubt your reasons.
286
In the second example, our team questions our manager's judgment.
287
Our manager's judgment is the noun phrase here.
288
So this is the pattern that we use to express doubt.
289
Okay, great.
290
So with all of this in mind, let's go to the very last point for this lesson.
291
A very easy refresher that we use question as a noun.
292
This is the most common way that we use question as a noun so it means
293
inquiry so
294
when we want to know something we ask a question right we use it with this verb right here right
295
so we use this in sentences like i have a question
296
about the menu right i have a question about something this
297
is one of the most common ways to use this verb
298
one more we'd like to ask you some questions about your work experience
299
so this is maybe a job interview type question So we tend to use question mostly in the noun form, but in case you see it as a verb,
300
this is how we use it.
301
So it's maybe a good idea to think about the verb form
302
if you're reading something or listening to something and you hear question used, but it doesn't seem to fit into this use, right?
303
You can think about how we use it in the verb form as well, because these are used sometimes, especially in the news.
304
All right, that was a lot of information, but I hope that you got a good idea of the differences between ask and request and question.
305
Remember, there are some key differences in the grammar patterns that we use for these verbs.
306
Most notably, don't forget these little, little differences like using two and not using two and using four and not using four and so on.
307
So you can practice making some sentences that use these two patterns
308
but express the same idea if you want to get some practice with this.
309
So I will wrap up this lesson there, but I hope that this was helpful for you.
310
Of course, if you have any questions or comments or if you want to practice making some example sentences with this information, please feel free to do so in the comment section of this video.

  2. 0.75배속으로 한 문장씩 섀도잉을 시작하고, 익숙해지면 보통 속도로 돌아갑니다.
  3. 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, verb, noun, phrase 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
