Your English grammar is solid. Your vocabulary is strong. So why do native speakers still seem to doubt you - in meetings, in emails, in academic papers, in job interviews?

The answer is almost certainly not what you think. The gap is not in your grammar. It is in your pragmatic precision - your ability to express exactly how confident you are, exactly how much you are committing to a claim, and exactly how much you respect the intelligence of the person you are communicating with. This invisible skill has a name: hedging. And it is the single most underteached, most misunderstood, and most professionally consequential skill in the entire ESL curriculum.
