1. The most direct request strategies are mood derivable statements that imply the request through tone, such as "Leave me alone" or "Clean up the kitchen." 2. More indirect strategies include explicit performatives that directly state the request, hedged performatives that soften the request with modifiers like "have to" or "must", and want statements that express a desire for the action. 3. Additional indirect strategies involve suggestory formulas that pose the request as a suggestion, query preparatories that ask permission to make a request, and hints that imply the request through additional context or questions.
