How to use "Courteous" in context?
When it comes to being polite, there is no one right way to do things. However, there are some general etiquette guidelines that can help people show less anger and be more approachable. For example, it is considered polite to say hello when greeting someone, to offer your seat up to a person who is elderly or pregnant, and to wait until someone has had a chance to answer before asking a question. Additionally, it is polite to refrain from make negative comments about others, to avoid eating in front of others, and to offer to help others with their bags or bags.
