Hi everybody, my name is Alicia. In this lesson I'm going to talk about how to ask about someone's health or any injuries that they might have.

We'll talk about questions you can use, some responses, and a few things to be careful of when you're asking these questions.

So let's begin. Okay, first I want to start with this list of questions that you can ask people about their questions. So let's begin. Okay, first I want to start with this list of questions that

you can ask people about their condition. This first group at the top, you can use to ask

about illness. So illness means sickness. The first one is a very general expression. Are you feeling okay? You can use this when you kind of see someone, maybe they look tired or they might be sick, or maybe they look maybe sad. You could even ask in that case. So are you feeling okay? a general friendly and caring expression to use.

We tend to use it with a little bit of a worried voice. Like are you feeling okay?

That's kind of a nice appropriate way to ask this question.

Another one, how are you feeling? How are you feeling?

How are you feeling?

Is one we use when we know the other person is sick.

Like we saw them yesterday, for example, and they had a cold.

We want to check on their condition now.

How are you feeling?

So this is something we use after we've seen a sick person or maybe they're in the process

of recovering from an illness.

So how are you feeling is also quite friendly.

If you want to be direct, you can say, are you sick?

Are you sick?

So this is good if you hear someone coughing or maybe their eyes are red, something maybe

visually or you can hear that like, you know, they sound terrible maybe.

You can say, are you sick?

It's probably good to use a worried tone of voice.
