How can I use questions effectively in conversations?

Using questions can help engage others, clarify understanding, and encourage deeper discussions. What type of conversation are you focusing on?

I'm interested in improving my small talk skills.

For small talk, open-ended questions work well. Try asking about interests or recent experiences. For example, 'What have you been up to lately?'

That sounds helpful! Can you give me more examples?

Sure! You could ask, 'What’s the best movie you’ve seen recently?' or 'Have you read any good books lately?'

Thanks! How do I keep the conversation going?

You can follow up on their answers with related questions or share your own experiences. This creates a natural flow.
