I have 10 questions in my quiz. I will eventually set it up so that it keeps asking questions until they stop the app.

An if block would only fire off 1 time very quickly, which wouldn’t wait for until the user speaks the answer.

Can you explain how I could use an if block to wait for an answer. I am reading the [Asynchronous Blocks within Loops](http://community.thunkable.com/t/asynchronous-blocks-within-loops/33524)  
thread to try to understand it.
