Titles
From TEFL World Wiki
When we address people, we use certain conventions of style.
We use these titles before a person's name when we are talking to them or about them. They are used in formal or polite situations.
| Title | Use |
| Mister or Mr | men |
| Mrs | married women |
| Miss | unmarried women/girls |
| Ms | women |
| Madam | women (very formal) |
All these words come before the person's name:
Good morning, Mister Bond. How are you today?
Can I speak to Mrs Jones, please?
Will Miss Moneypenny please come to reception?
Take this letter to Ms Galore's office.
When we talk about a married couple, we often say:
Mister and Mrs Smith...
We can also use Mr or Madam before the title of someone very important when we are talking to him:
But Mister President, this would mean war!
I wish to object, Mister Chairman.
