Hi Teachers,
I've read one of the posts here and I have this question:
Is 'Have you finished? more polite than 'Are you finished'?
You usually say 'Are you finished?' when you are more impatient and it can be used with your friends. I think it would be impolite to tell a senior person 'Are you finished?' Sounds more demanding and impolite to me. Is that so? Am I completely wrong?
Thanks in advance
