Unit 8 · Opinions, plans, and solving problems
Make polite requests and suggestions in meetingsاطلب واقترح بلباقة في الاجتماعات
In this lesson
Politely ask a colleague to send you a file.
The idea, simply
The longer the request form, the more polite it sounds: Can you …? is neutral, Could you …? is softer, and Would you mind + verb-ing is the most formal. Note that you agree to Would you mind with Not at all, because the question literally asks whether you object. To suggest something, say How about + verb-ing or Shall we + verb.
Examples
Would you mind sending me the file?
How about meeting on Thursday?
Shall we start with the budget?
