Today's phrase will help you take matters into your own hands.

In today's lesson, we'll take a look at the word, please, which will be very important

when you need to ask for something. In English, please is said to be the magic word.

It makes things sound politer, and children are taught to say please when they want to request something.

Let's hear it again.

Please.

The easiest way of using please is to point out something while saying it.

But let's try and build this up a bit, shall we?

Let's start with the expression,

this please, this please, see how it makes things sound a little bit better?

Looking at the word for this warns a look at the word for that, that, that. The phrase, that please, can be used to point at objects

not so close to you. Pointing at people is considered rude in general in the states, but it's

fine to point out objects. It is also common to add the word one to this expression to make it

sound more natural. So you can say,

this one please, or that one please, once again, this one please, or that one please.

Okay, now to close out today's lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned.

I'll say the phrase or sentence and why don't you try saying it out loud?

Good luck, everybody.

Please.

Please.

Please?

This please.
