A request is when we ask someone for something. Since we are asking someone for help, it is important to be polite.

We must avoid being too direct.

Here are examples of being too direct:

“I want help.”

“Pass me the salt.”

“Can you carry my bag?”



These questions are all correct English but they are too direct. These are not polite requests. They are in fact quite rude. People will be offended because they will think that you are giving them orders.



In this lesson, you will learn several methods to make a polite request. The first few examples are to be used in spoken English. The last example is for written English.
