SUMMARY:
We’ll explore making polite requests using the words “think” and “wonder.” Polite requests are essential in communication to ask for something nicely. Using these words can make your requests sound more considerate and polite.
Consider these examples: Instead of asking directly, “Can you lend me your car?” or “Would you be able to lend me your car?” using “think” or “wonder” can make the request more polite. For instance, “Do you think you could lend me your car?” or “ I wonder if you think you could lend me your car?” offers a softer tone and a chance for a thoughtful response.
