How can I effectively ask follow-up questions?

What are some tips for asking follow-up questions in a conversation?

To ask effective follow-up questions, listen actively, show genuine interest, and build on what the other person said.

Can you give me an example of a good follow-up question?

Sure! If someone mentions they enjoyed a book, you could ask, 'What did you like most about it?' This shows you're engaged.

How do I know when to ask a follow-up question?

Look for cues in the conversation, like pauses or elaborations. If someone seems passionate, it's a great time to ask more.

What if I feel like I'm interrupting?

It's important to be respectful. You can say something like, 'I’m really interested in what you’re saying, may I ask a quick question?'

Thanks! This is really helpful.
