| When requesting something or asking for information or help, English speakers often use "Could you...?", "Would you...?", or "Would you mind...?" as a form of politeness. This is especially true when addressing people in authority, older people or strangers. If a request is made using a command or structures such as "I want..." or "Can you...?", it may be considered rude by some English speakers. This lesson plan will help your students practise useful structures in making polite requests. |
