When asking for permissionPlease, Can I borrow your pen?Can I please borrow your pen?Can I borrow your pen, please.

Listen and repeat


8/13

When you ask a permission, we used generally the word “please”, because itsounds more polite.

It is not necessary to use grammatically “please”, but it can sound rude if we don‟tuse it. “Please” can be placed in different parts of the sentence, at the beginning,at the end, or before the verb:

Please, Can I borrow your pen? Can I please borrow your pen?

Can I borrow your pen, please?

One important way to show politeness is the voice tone and intonation, even if youuse the word “Please”, it may sound rude if your pronunciation is not the correctone.

Won't you sit down? To have respect for.

Could you sit down? To have no respect for.

Sit down, why don't you! Please, be kind.

Would you like to sit down? Well-mannered.

Please sit down. Gentle.

I'd like you to sit down. Rude.

Never mind. Perhap.

No way. I would prefer it if.
