How To Use 'I Was Wondering'

Learn to make polite requests using "I was wondering" with this helpful video lesson.

Politeness is key in effective communication. One useful phrase to sound more diplomatic is "I was wondering". This video lesson will show you how to use it effectively when making requests.

Instead of directly asking, "Can I take next Tuesday off?", you can say, "I was wondering if I could take next Tuesday off?". This approach sounds more polite and considerate, making it easier for the other person to respond positively.

Another example is instead of saying "Can we meet on Thursday afternoon?", try "I was wondering if we could meet on Thursday afternoon". This subtle change in phrasing makes your request sound less demanding and more collaborative.

Using "I was wondering" not only softens your requests but also shows respect for the other person's time and preferences. It’s a small change that can make a big difference in your interactions.

Watch our video and practice using "I was wondering" in different scenarios.
