Extrait de l'aide pédagogique pour "Making enquiries" :
It is very important to know how to make enquiries in order to find out information about any given situation. This could be particularly useful in meetings or
interviews. There are many ways in which we can formulate this kind of enquiry:
Expressions for introducing questions on a specific topic of interest
· ‘What’s the status …?’
Used particularly when asking questions about processes.
What’s the status on the Brown contract? Have they signed yet?
· ‘Have you heard of …?’
Used when the speaker is asking if his/her interlocutor is familiar with the subject of the question.
Have you heard of Gwen Green? She is going to be the new CFO …
· ‘Have you heard about …?’
Used when the speaker is referring to a story relating to a person or a thing. It often introduces the story.
- Have you heard about Maureen?
- No, what about her?
- She got fired!
· ‘Have you heard from …?’
Used to ask whether a person has had news from someone else.
Have you heard from Laura recently?
