🌈4 options to soften what you say depending relationship and context
1️⃣make sure
2️⃣be sure
3️⃣be careful to do…(a little different from"make sure""be sure", like warning)
Ex: Be careful to go early.
Ex: Be careful she doesn't conceive you.
4️⃣try (to do/ doing)
Ex: Try to arrive on time. We need to start right at 7.(very similar to"be/make sure")
Ex: My skin is dry. I need to try drinking more water.
