•    II Is considered impolite in English to issue instructions as commands,

i >.<). Roli up your sleeve!' 'Sit down!’ It’s much morę acceptable to form roquests with can or could. You can also reduce the impact of a command by beginning with just e.g. ‘Just sit down please’. And of oourse don’t forget to use P/ease!

•    Cnn may also be used when asking about a person's ability to do uomethlng, e.g. Can you move your leg (or is it too painful)?
