Hi. Echo questions, or echoes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's start this by looking at exactly

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what an echo is.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Imagine: I'm in Spain, and I'm standing

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in front of a poster that says "Welcome to

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sunny Spain" and it's pouring with rain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'd look at the poster, I'd look at my

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
friend and say, "Welcome to sunny Spain."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, I'm being ironic about what the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
poster says and the weather.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That is an echo.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay? I could make it more ironic

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by making it a question.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Welcome to sunny Spain?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, there is more irony.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, this is another; this is now

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
an echo question. Now, we can form this in

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
various other ways by changing parts

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of the sentence for question words.
