Hi. Echo questions, or echoes.
Let's start this by looking at exactly
what an echo is.
Imagine: I'm in Spain, and I'm standing
in front of a poster that says "Welcome to
sunny Spain" and it's pouring with rain.
I'd look at the poster, I'd look at my
friend and say, "Welcome to sunny Spain."
Okay, I'm being ironic about what the
poster says and the weather.
That is an echo.
Okay? I could make it more ironic
by making it a question.
"Welcome to sunny Spain?"
Okay, there is more irony.
Okay, this is another; this is now
an echo question. Now, we can form this in
various other ways by changing parts
of the sentence for question words.
