Thread: Valda - разные вопросы по глаголам

When a school teacher provides a question in class for homework, we don't say that he "asked a question", we say he "set a question". The former would imply that he expected an answer straight away, while the latter makes clear that he expects the answer later.

That would be "pose a question", because "set a question" really sounds awkward

Nope

Alright, thanks

It's not awkward in any variety of English I've ever encountered, but I think we might be getting away from the point a wee bit.
