1) Can you help me with something? 
2) How can I do this better? Is this the best approach? 
3) Can you direct me to a resource that will help me... 
4) what is the best course of action if my roommate snores? 
5) Do you know of a different type of protein other than this dish?
6) I know they offer a lot of history courses, but do they offer history of Ancient Greeks?
7) How do I know when they are giving out the flu shot?
