# Main Point
## 謙譲語 -> けんじょうご -> Humble Speech
This is けいご、very polite speak, this is the second pattern. These words lower yourself, whereas そんけいご/尊敬語 raises the other person up. **The subject of the sentences involved is usually ourselves, or our family. Something that involves us, since we're lowering it.**

Used for superiors at work, for clients, for strangers, and for formal situations.

There are specific conjugation patterns for humble speech:

*   **For Group 1 and 2 verbs:** Add お- to the verb stem and follow with -します (e.g., お手伝いします - to help, お送りします - to send).
*   **For Group 3 verbs (suru verbs):** Add ご- to the noun part of the verb and follow with -します (e.g., ご案内します - to guide, ご説明します - to explain). For verbs like 電話する (to call) and 約束する (to promise), it becomes おでんわします and お約束します respectively.

Examples of humble speech in sentences include:
*   私は先生をお送りします (I will drop off the teacher).
*   私は社長にscheduleをお伝えします (I will tell the president the schedule).
*   私は課長にお手伝いしましょう (I will help the manager).
