    This document compares direct and indirect questions. Direct questions use a question word followed by a verb and subject, while indirect questions introduce the question with a phrase like "can you tell me" followed by the question word, subject, and verb. Indirect questions are more polite than direct questions and avoid directly asking the question. Examples provided show converting direct questions about a post office, smiling, bank hours, and bus stops into more polite indirect questions.
