Hello,
Yes, you can! However:

  • if the question is about an area of language etc. then you might be better off asking it on the relevant page of our English grammar section
  • the question should probably be about learning English
  • it should follow the house rules

Best wishes,

Hello The LearnEnglish Team,

Would you be so kind to help me. I have a question about Task3. Is it absolutely clear instruction for native speaker to put the sentences in order of politeness? Because I desided that I supposed to finish the list with the most polite expression but start with impolite one. So I failed. May be I couldn't understand what "in order" exactly means and decreasing range is implaied? 

Thank you 

Andrew

Hello Andrew,
The instructions for this task say 'Put the most polite sentence at the top and the least polite sentence at the bottom'.
