Recognition, understanding, and requests to repeat or clarify a question. This concentrated Q&A drill runs at 160 WPM for 5:39 (minutes:seconds).

• Recurring words and phrases: “remember”, “understand”, “understanding”, “aware”, “familiar”, “memory”, “recollection”, “recall”.
• Recurring question forms: “Are you aware of”, “Are you familiar with”, “Do you have any understanding”, “You understand that”, “Do you have any memory”.
• Recurring witness answers: “Could you repeat that?”, “Can you rephrase that question?”, “Can you say that again?”, “No, I don't believe so.”, “I think so, yes.”

Examples from the transcript: “Do you have any understanding of that person's involvement?”, “You understand that there is a distinction here?”

Common deposition language returns throughout the take in changing combinations, with short, varied, one-sentence witness answers. Yes and No appear both alone and within useful answer constructions. Practice hearing and writing the words without relying on predictable context.
