Nivel: B1Tema: Preguntas indirectas: not sure who/whether; 30+ ejemplos
Ten minutes before the project meeting, my team gathered and admitted they were not sure who would lead the discussion. The manager was delayed, and nobody knew whether the agenda had been updated overnight.
I asked whether anyone had seen the latest slides. Priya said she wanted to know if the client would join online or in person. Jonas wondered whether the budget section was ready, because he had not received figures he expected.
HR sent a note asking whether we needed an extra chair for a guest. Reception called to ask what time the visitor would arrive, and I replied that I did not know whether the train was on schedule. These small questions arrived faster than answers.
In the corridor Lisa asked me whether I knew who would open the meeting if our manager remained absent. I suggested we ask whether Diego could facilitate, since he had led the last review. Diego said he would agree only if someone confirmed whether the client expected a formal welcome.
We entered the room and tested the screen. IT support asked whether the cable connected properly, and Priya asked what password the shared folder required. Jonas asked if anyone knew whether backups existed for the draft report.
When the manager finally appeared, she apologized and asked whether we had started without her. We explained that we were not sure who should lead, so we waited. She asked what issues we needed to resolve first, and the client connection chimed.
The client asked whether everyone could hear him clearly. He wanted to know if the timeline still matched the proposal we sent last week. Our manager asked whether he had reviewed the appendix, because she was not certain what comments he might raise.
During discussion Priya asked whether marketing could share updated visuals. Marketing replied that they did not know when final images would arrive, and they asked whether the client would accept placeholder designs. The client asked what deadline would protect the launch date.
Jonas asked whether finance had approved travel costs. Finance joined briefly to ask if we knew how many attendees would need hotel rooms. Nobody was sure whether the conference venue required deposits this week, so the manager asked me to confirm.
Before closing, the client asked whether we could send minutes by tomorrow. My manager asked what format he preferred, and he said he wondered whether a short summary would suffice. She agreed and asked whether he needed action items listed separately.
After the call, teammates asked each other who would write the summary. I volunteered but asked whether Diego could check technical details. He asked if I knew whether the recording captured the client's final comments, because he was not sure what version we should archive.
Walking back to our desks, Lisa observed that meetings often begin with uncertainty about who leads and whether resources are ready. Indirect questions helped us stay professional while we asked what time guests would arrive, whether slides worked, and how much budget remained.
