@ Nasiru Muhammed, Thank you for your question.
As usual, I will try to explain the difference using simple language and plenty of examples.
Why It’s So Important To Be Polite When You Speak English?
English speakers value politeness over almost everything else. You can speak the most perfect English, but if you appear rude, other people won’t want to talk to you. Politeness helps us to deal with other people easily and smoothly. It helps us get on with strangers in a crowded place and it helps us get what we want. Politeness is such an important part of everyday life and it does not cost anything, so why not try and learn these expressions.
We have been talking about different ways of showing politeness in English, such as through asking different types of questions, using different modal verbs and adding polite words. In today’s post we will do a checklist of the most important things to remember.
1. Don’t make orders
- We rarely use the imperative form. So instead of saying “Do this!” we’d say “Can or could you do this, please?” or “Would you mind doing this?”
2. Ask for permission
- Don’t just do things, ask if it is OK with other people.
- Do you mind if I…
- Could I/ could you
- Is it OK if I…
- “Do you mind if I opened the window?!
- “Is it OK if I turn off the radio?”
3. Remember and use the “magic words”
- The “magic words” are the words that get you what you want. We learn them as children, but English speakers are much more likely to use them often.
- The magic words for politeness are:
- Please – when we want something
- Thank you – when we receive something
- Sorry – when we inconvenience someone, do something wrong, or can’t help someone
- Excuse me – when we interrupt someone, or want to ask a stranger a question
Make sure you follow these simple rules. It will make a big difference to how you sound in English and how you are perceived by others.
