Saying “not possible” politely is a real skill.
Polite pushback:
- That might be difficult by Friday.
- I’m not sure we can make Friday.
- Could we push it to Monday?
- If we want quality, we’ll need more time.
Mini practice (20 seconds):
Reply politely in 1–2 sentences:
“The deadline is tomorrow.”
It’s much easier to make this natural when you practice it in real conversation. If you’d like, we can work on it together in a 25-minute lesson (supportive corrections, no pressure).
