Subject: The Usage of Polite Expressions

 
Dear linguists,

I'm a university student in Japan.
I'm interested in polite language of English.
There are several polite expressions in English like will,can,would,could etc.
So I would like to investigate the usage of them.
Please tell me the difference of the way you ask between your
parents,superiors,friends, seniors and juniors?
And how would you say when you want to borrow some money or pens from others?

This suvey will take about 10 minutes.
You can answer this queries from:
