Why in a phone call we use this is instead of I Am?

1 Answer. “I am” refers to my self, as a being; I was (existed) before I started the call. “This” refers to the caller, who was not the caller before he called. Actually, “this” could also refer to a recipient, or any other ‘telecommunicative-endpoint’ (such as a radio operator).

How do you ask someone if I can call them?

This can be used in a business context, or even in a more private or personal context.

  1. Give people a concrete and honest reason.
  2. Think in the necessities of other people.
  3. Use the correct timing.
  4. Ask to yourself if that’s the right person.
  5. Always be gentle.
  6. Face rejection, but insist (up to a point)

Which is grammatically correct this is she or this is her?

“This is she” is grammatically correct. The verb “to be” acts as a linking verb, equating subject and object. So this is she and she is this; “she” and “this” are one and the same, interchangeable, and to be truly interchangeable they must both play the same grammatical role—that of the subject.

How do you answer the phone this is she or this is her?

The easiest way to remember which one to choose is to just remember,

  1. “Is” is acting as a linking verb.
  2. Linking verbs cannot take objects.
  3. “Her” is an object, so it must be “she.”

Who is she or who is her?

“Who is she” is correct. By using “who she is” you are actually describing a woman/girl, implying a direct opinion or stating a certain characteristic about her. By using the “who is she” is asking what is the identity of that woman/girl that you are trying to know about.

Could you please give me a call meaning?

Is it better to ask someone out in person or text?

Asking them out over text reduces the awkwardness if things don’t work in your favor but it also makes it seem less personal. Meanwhile, asking them out in person gets an immediate answer but getting rejected straight to your face really hurts.
