Can I say something? Can I add something here? Id like to say something, if I may? Can I ask a question? May I ask something? Notes: 1. In order to be more polite, ‘Could’ or “May” can be substituted for “Can”. 2. For an even politer expression, add ‘please’ to the end of the sentences. e.g. Can I ask question, please? 4. “Is it okay if” can be used in place of “May” or “Can”. For a very polite expression, use “Would you mind if” in place of “May” or “Can”: Would you mind if I ask you something? Public Service Announcement Smokey the Bear - Campfires (summer is here) 1 Cultural notes: 1. Smokey Bear is a mascot of the United States Forest Service created in 1944 to educate the public on the dangers of forest fires. Smokey is famous for his slogan: Only YOU can prevent forest fires. 2. Smokeys slogan oversimplifies the larger situation; most forest fires are actually caused by lightning or railway trains. source: /wiki/Smokey_Bear Both Sides of the Pond (US) field day / bazaar (UK) fete (US) slot machine (UK) fruit machine (US) bachelor party (UK) stag night (US) bachelorette party (UK) hen night Song Trees, by T.
