阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题,每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。
In our daily life, direct questions are usually used to ask for information we do not know. Direct questions are either "Yes" or "No" questions like "Are you married?" or information questions like "Where do you live?"
It's OK to ask your friends or someone you know well direct questions. But they can seem abrupt and impolite at times especially when you are asking a stranger. For example, if you come up to someone and ask "What time is it?" or "Can you move?", he or she may refuse to answer you. It is certainly correct to ask questions in this way, but it's very common to make these kinds of questions more polite by adding "Excuse me" or "Pardon me" to begin your questions.
It's also possible to use "can" in more informal situations. In the past, "can" was not used when asking for something, but only to refer to abilities. In the United Kingdom, Cambridge University publishes books with the phrases "Can you lend me" "Can I have", etc. In the United States, this form is still considered to be incorrect, especially for written English, and "May I have" is preferred. Questions with "can" are made more polite by using "could": "Pardon me. Could you help me?"
"Would" can also be used to make questions more polite. "Would you lend me your pencil?" is also polite.
Another way of making direct questions more polite is to add "please" at the end of the questions. We can say "Could you help me, please?" "Please" should not appear at the beginning of the questions.
