If we don't see that there is a multitude of language games, we are inclined to ask: “What is a question?” Is it the statement that I don't know so and so, or ˇis it the statement that I wish the other person would tell me …? Or is it the description [f|o]f my mental state of uncertainty? – And is the cry “help!” ˇsuch a description? of that sort?
Think of what widely different things we call “description[”|s]”: the description of the position of a body by means of its coordinates: the description of

changes in
the course of

a sensation of pain.
One can [O|o]f course put instead of one can replace the usual form of the a question ˇby that of

a
the

statement or ˇa description: ˇsuch as “I want to know whether …”, or “I am in doubt as to [h|w]hether …” – but one hasn't thereby brought the different language games any nearer to one another.
The s[u|i]gnificance of such this possibilit[i|y]es of transforming, for instance, all

assertions
declarative sentences

into sentences that begin

words
clause

“I think” or “I believe” (i.e. so to speak into descriptions of my

mental states
inner life

) will appear later.
