What's the Matter?

Use What's the matter? to ask about a problem, especially a health problem.

In answers, English often uses I've got ... or My ... hurts.

These are short, natural ways to explain how someone feels.

  • Example: I've got a headache.
  • Example: My throat hurts.

Quick Rule

  • question -> What's the matter?
  • answer -> I've got ... / My ... hurts

These phrases are useful to know, especially on not-so-great days.
