After a while, the teacher asked her a question about one of them.

Our teachers come to us every day and ask how we're doing.

The teacher called on the student and asked him what he was doing.

Another teacher asked whether he could cut in on the line.

The teacher will often then ask one or more of those with their hands up if they were going to give that answer.

At the end of the day, the teacher asked the class what they had learned.

Good teachers ask questions and bring everyone into the conversation.

The teacher asks the children what they know about the old man.

So, using an example similar to the one above, a teacher might present a picture and ask "What is this?"

In third grade you knew the answer to every question the teacher asked.
