| Jun 29, 2014 at 2:33 | comment | added | user50720 | @curiousdannii Yes, but moreover, why it's so? | |

| Jun 16, 2014 at 5:24 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | It's not. One usually inquires of, about, if, into, after, etc. But unless inquire(d) is at the end of a sentence, it is not used without a preposition. Inquire and enquire are not used with a direct object; 'ask' is. | |
| Jun 16, 2014 at 5:24 | comment | added | oerkelens | Please note that you are asking about enquire in your question, but your quote mentions inquire. They are similar, but they are not the same verbs. I would, in case of your quote, use enquire though. | |
