- More indirect language is almost always more formal and polite language.

- p. 52 - pronunciation of auxiliary verbs (stress)
- Auxiliary verbs are “helping” verbs, which give grammatical information but don’t tell you the main action of a sentence. (“do”, “be”, “have”, and modals are the most common auxiliary verbs)
- When will John leave work? (“will” has short, weak pronunciation; I could say “When’ll” in speaking)
- John will leave work at 5:00. (“will” has weak pronunciation; I could say “John’ll”.)
- Will you be here tomorrow? (“will” probably has weak pronunciation)
- Yes, I will. (“will” has strong pronunciation at the end of clauses and sentences)
- Will John be here tomorrow?
- He will if the trains are running. (“will” is at the end of the clause, so it has strong pronunciation)
- In other words, if you don’t say the main verb, then the helping verb gets a strong pronunciation.
- ---
- When it has weak pronunciation, “going to” sounds like “gonna”.
- When is John going to leave work? John is going to leave at 5:00. Are you going to be here tomorrow?
- Yes, I am. (“am” has strong pronunciation)
- Yes, I’m going to. (“am” is weak, but “going to” is strong)
