That's called Expressive Dysphasia Greg.

Dysphasia is an impairment of any language modality, including the production of and the comprehension of, spoken or written language.

With expressive dysphasia, understanding is preserved but a person has difficulty trying to convey meaningful responses to any questions asked. Reading and writing might be impaired, but understanding remains intact.
