Counsel should avoid making comments on the witnesses response. Although it is common and difficult to avoid such responses, but the judges dislike it.
We can’t ask: - Did you go anywhere this morning? Because that’s leading (unless agreed then we can ask) which means that she actually went somewhere ( she could be home as well). Basically, for examination in chief we should ask non-leading questions unless agreed then we can lead.

Thank you for sharing. I believe it was agreed and my lecturers said it was no leading. 😊
work on body language and fillers "ok...ok...ok" after every response
