Diplomatic Language Tips: Using Passive Form

Discover how to enhance your diplomatic skills by using passive forms in English.

In this video on diplomatic language tips, we explore how the passive form can help you communicate more diplomatically. By shifting focus away from the person performing the action, you can create a more neutral and less personal tone. This technique is particularly useful in formal English.

For instance, instead of saying, “Your assistant told us that the documents were sent,” use “We were told that the documents were sent”. This approach avoids attributing blame and maintains a neutral stance. Similarly, replace “You promised the goods would arrive today” with “We were told that the goods would arrive today” to keep the conversation more objective.

Employing passive forms effectively can help you manage delicate situations and convey messages with tact. This video provides practical examples and tips on incorporating this strategy into your everyday communication. By using passive form, you’ll be able to navigate professional and interpersonal interactions smoothly and diplomatically.
