Daily English Upgrade #004: Tone Control — “Send it today” → “Could you send it today?”

Mohamed Helmy


Same message — very different feeling.

Direct (can sound too strong):

  • Send it today.

Neutral / polite (most useful):

  • Could you send it today?
  • Can you send it today? (slightly more direct)

Softer (more polite):

  • Would you mind sending it today?
  • If possible, could you send it today?

Mini practice (20 seconds):
Make these polite:

  1. “Reply today.”
  2. “Join the meeting.”

It’s much easier to make this natural when you practice it in real conversation. If you’d like, we can work on it together in a 25-minute lesson (supportive corrections, no pressure).
