Para. 3:Usually polite questions are longer.
What words can we use to make polite questions Please circle those “magic words”.
Usually polite questions are longer.

For example, we might first say to a stranger, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but…”before asking for help.
