ビジネスの現場では、社員同士でお願いごとをするときも"It is much appreciated if you could~"のような決まり文句が多用されています。ところでニックさんは50歳だったんですね?もっとお若い方だとお見受けしていましたので少々驚きました。毎回楽しみに拝見していますが、これからも素晴らしいコンテンツをお待ちしています!

If I could ~全く知りませんでした。普段はCan I~ , Can you ~, Do you want to ~, I want to go home early.(笑)くらいしか言ったことがないので、今度から丁寧シリーズ、できるだけ使ってみます。でも、日本語と同じで言い慣れていないと実際にパッと使うのは難しいんです。

I was wondering~とかI was hoping~とかで、過去進行形にすると丁寧になるのは何故なのか、ずっと気になっています。 過去にすると丁寧になるのは、仮定法的な発想かな?とも思いますが、進行形だと丁寧になるのが不思議。 現在進行形のI am wondering~やI am hoping~も確か、そこそこ丁寧だったと思いますし…。 この辺りの事をお教え頂けるとありがたいです。宜しくお願い致します。
