So, of course all questions in English have modal verbs.

Less formal, but still polite, modal verbs are can and could.

Okay, so one way of asking a question politely is to

3000
ใงใฏใ€ไธๅฏงใซ่ณชๅ•ใ™ใ‚‹ 1 ใคใฎๆ–นๆณ•ใฏ

use the following structure.

1530
ใ€ๆฌกใฎๆง‹้€ ใ‚’ไฝฟ็”จใ™ใ‚‹ใ“ใจใงใ™ใ€‚

Use a negative question, but with a positive question tag.

ใ‚‚ใกใ‚ใ‚“ใ€‚ ใ‚ใ‚‹็Šถๆณใซใคใ„ใฆ่ชฐใ‹ใ‚’

To avoid directly blaming someone for a situation,

2850
็›ดๆŽฅ่ฒฌใ‚ใ‚‹ใฎใ‚’้ฟใ‘ใ‚‹ใŸใ‚ใซ ใ€
02:43
we sometimes use the passive in questions.

02:46
So, instead of saying have you made my drink yet, you could say.

ใงใ™ใ‹ใ‚‰ใ€ ็งใฎ้ฃฒใฟ็‰ฉใฏใ‚‚ใ†ไฝœใฃใŸใจ่จ€ใ†ไปฃใ‚ใ‚Šใซใ€ใ‚ใชใŸใฏ่จ€ใ†ใ“ใจใŒใงใใพใ™.

02:58
And, finally, sometimes in English we use past or continuous forms to
