 What is an indirect question examples?

Indirect questions are a little more formal and polite. We use them when talking to a person we don't know very well, or in professional situations, and their form is a little different. Example of an indirect question: “Could you tell me where the bathroom is?”,  we use indirect questions when we want to be more polite, more formal or less confrontational.
