People fall into three categories:
Those who make things happen.
Those who watch things happen.
And those who wonder what happened.
John M. Capozzi
To wonder
To ask yourself.
The verb wonder can be used as a polite way of making requests or asking questions.
- Excuse me, I wonder if you could give me some information.
To be very polite you often use the past progressive form.
- I was just wondering if you could possibly do me a favour.
