Grammar #8: Noun clauses (due Friday)

A friend of yours wants to "set you up" with another friend on a blind date.

"Set you up" means [that] they want to introduce you to someone for a date.
A "blind date" is when you go on a date with someone without having seen them before that night. Incidentally, my husband and I met on a blind date. Now we have a deaf marriage ;)

Write down three things you want to find out about that person using noun clauses. Use a mix of questions and statements.

For example:
1. I'd like to find out what color his eyes are.
2. Could you let me know if he's ever been married before?
3. I wonder what his hobbies are.

    1. Can you tell me whether he likes to play sport or video game. If he likes to play video game, you can tell him that you will find another girl for him.
    2. I wonder what his personalities are because I don't feel trust a guy who has to rely on blind date to find a girl friend.
    3. Another question is whether he has any health disease. I really need a healthy man who is strong enough to protect me, not opposite.
