Q: Pls help me with my spoken English😭
Situational English:
You are a student and you need to ask your professor for an extension on an assignment.How would you
approach them? ile örnek cümleler göster.
A: I tried to give a couple of different options for each part of the request. You pick which one sounds best to you. They're all formal, which is appropriate here.

You would usually start with some polite phrase like,
"Excuse me, do you have a minute?"
"Pardon me, could I have a moment of your time?"
"Pardon me, [teacher's name], is now a good time for a question?"

"Pardon me" is more formal than, "Excuse me."

Then you would state your request
"I need to ask for an extension on [assignment name's]."


Then, you offer an explanation for why you need an extension, the first two are past tense and the last one is future.
"I was sick over the weekend and so I was unable to complete the assignment in the given time."
"I had an important appointment which prevented me from completing this assignment in a timely fashion."
"I know the assignment is due on [due date] but because I have to take my mother to her appointment, I won't be able to finish in the allotted time."

And then end with restating the request in another way, including the amount of time you're requesting such as
"And that's why I'm hoping you'll give me a [amount of time] extension on this assignment."
"That is why I am requesting a [amount of time] extension."
"So, I'm requesting an extension, whatever extra time you'd be willing to allow me."

Then you wait for a response and, whether the answer is yes or no, you end by thanking the teacher for their time, and the extension if it is given.
If the teacher refuses the extension:
"Well, thank you for your time."
"Thank you for listening."

If the extension is granted:
"Thank you, I'm grateful for the added time and will have the assignment on your desk [ or "in your inbox"] by [the date or time it is now due].
"Thank you very much. I'll be sure to have the assignment turned in on [the date it is now due."

Then whatever the polite way to say goodbye is in your culture.
