Polite English: 10 Ways to Make Offers (formal → neutral → casual)
Words have power. They can make people feel comfortable or awkward – welcome or isolated. One of the things which affects these feelings is the formality of the language we use. Formality is one of the most important and delicate aspects of language learning. In this lesson, I teach and discuss 10 common ways that you can make offers in English, arranging them by level of formality. What’s more casual: “Let me take your coat,” or “Allow me to take your coat”? Find out in the lesson and learn other common offer phrases, such as: “Would you like,” “Would you like me to,” “Have some,” “May I,” “Shall I,” “Can I get you,” “Do you want,” and “Take one.” Boost or reinforce your understanding of formal and casual English, then do the quiz to test what you have learned.
