What should I call you-Using Mr and Mrs
Download as PPT, PDF2 likes1,174 views
The document discusses proper etiquette for addressing people formally and informally in different situations. In business and formal situations, use titles like Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr., Professor followed by the person's last name. More casual relationships use first names. Children and close friends/family may use pet names. Start with formal titles until the person invites you to use their first name. Restaurant staff should be addressed formally until a relationship is built.
![This Depends on your ages. Neighbours usually address each other with first names, though it depends on your age and theirs. Introduce yourself using your first name and wait to see how they introduce themselves. If your neighbour is older you can ask the question during the second meeting, "Is it okay if I call you [first name]?" http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/2020694/85/What-should-I-call-you-Using-Mr-and-Mrs-11-320.jpg)
What should I call you-Using Mr and Mrs
- 1. Learning Beyond the Classroom Using formal and informal titles -By Anna http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
- 2. Today we are going to work on how to address someone in a formal situation and informal situation http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
- 3. In business situations, use formal titles unless the people you meet tell you otherwise. To get someone's attention you can say: "Excuse me, Sir" or "Pardon me, Madam/Ma'am." To greet someone you can say: "Hello Sir" or "Good morning, Madam/Ma'am." http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
- 4. Here are the formal titles English speakers use: Sir (adult male of any age) Ma'am (adult female - North American) Madam (adult female) Mr + last name (any man) Mrs + last name (married woman) Ms + last name (unmarried woman or woman whose marital status you don't know) Miss + last name (unmarried woman) Dr + last name (some doctors go by Dr + first name) Professor + last name (in a university setting) Note that: for Mr we say "Mister" for Mrs we say "Misses" for Miss we say "Miss" for Ms we say "Mizz http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
- 5. Casual or very close relationships require an informal form of address: First name (friends, students, children) Miss/Mr + first name (sometimes used by dance or music teachers or childcare workers) http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
- 6. When addressing a child, a romantic partner, or a close friend or family member (usually younger) people often use these terms of endearment, also known as "pet names": Honey (child, romantic partner, or younger person) Dear Sweetie Love Darling Babe or Baby (romantic partner) Pal (father or grandfather calls male child) Buddy or Bud (very informal between friends or adult-to-child; can be seen as negative) http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
- 7. How you address people may also change depending on your own age and status. If you are unsure, use a formal address. If your form of address is too formal, the other person will invite you to use an alternative form of address, such as a first name. http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
- 8. Start formal. He or she will probably tell you on day 1 during the introduction. If not, use a formal title, until he or she tells you otherwise. Don't use the generic term "Teacher". This sounds as if you do not know your teacher's name. (You wouldn't want to be called "Student", right?) Even if you have a substitute teacher, make sure to address the instructor by a specific name. http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
- 9. Start with Mr. or Mrs. Call your child's teacher the same thing your child calls him or her. The teacher may give you permission to use her first name when your child is not present. http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
- 10. This depends on the situation . On a social network you can usually use first names, even with teachers and administrators. In an email, use a formal form of address the first time you contact a person. The other person will likely respond by signing with just a first name. In your next email you can safely address that person by their first name. http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
- 11. This Depends on your ages. Neighbours usually address each other with first names, though it depends on your age and theirs. Introduce yourself using your first name and wait to see how they introduce themselves. If your neighbour is older you can ask the question during the second meeting, "Is it okay if I call you [first name]?" http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
- 12. Formal or first name. Use Sir or Madam/Ma'am if you don't know their first name. Do NOT use "Hey waiter!" or "Hey waitress!" This is considered rude by the restaurant staff and you will likely not receive friendly service. If you are a regular customer you will build a relationship with the restaurant or cafe staff. Then you can call staff by their first names. http://skype-englishschool.com http://eikaiwa-skype.com
