How to Offer Suggestions Politely

Learn to rephrase orders into polite suggestions with this video tutorial to give suggestions politely.

Offering suggestions politely is a crucial skill in English communication. Instead of giving direct orders, rephrasing them as questions can make you sound more respectful and considerate. In this video, you'll discover 3 effective ways to suggest ideas without sounding bossy.

  • "What if". Using "What if" can transform a command into a polite suggestion. For example, instead of saying "Move it here!" you can say, "What if we moved it here?". This approach invites collaboration and shows consideration for others' opinions.
  • "How about". Rather than ordering "Put the table in the corner!" you can suggest, "How about we put the table in the corner?". This phrasing sounds softer and more inclusive.
  • "Why don't we". Using "Why don't we" can make suggestions even more polite. For instance, instead of commanding "Take a break!" you can ask, "Why don't you take a break?". This method shows you care about the other person's well-being.

By mastering these techniques, you can communicate more effectively and build better relationships. Watch our video to see these examples in action and start practicing making polite suggestions.
