hello this is Kristen at learn English
0:08
with be Global and today we are going to
0:11
talk about please thank you and I'm
0:16
sorry now these are all things that we
0:18
use in our everyday language to show
0:22
appreciation and respect for those
0:25
around us so let's start with the word
0:28
please
0:30
you use the word please whenever you are
0:33
asking for something from someone or if
0:37
there's something that you want someone
0:38
to do for you it is polite it is
0:42
respectful and it is appreciated when
0:44
you add please to your request so for
0:48
instance maybe the question is that you
0:52
want something that is across the table
0:55
and you want it for your dinner you
0:57
would say can you please pass me that
1:01
plate can you please show me where the
1:04
bathroom
1:05
is another thing you can do is you can
1:09
remember to always add please before
1:12
your sentence or after if you're not
1:15
comfortable putting it in the middle and
1:17
you're not sure where to put it so then
1:19
I could say please would you hand me
1:22
that
1:23
plate or please would you show me where
1:27
the restroom
1:28
is and if you want to add it at the end
1:32
then I can say would you hand me that
1:35
plate
1:37
please would you show me where the
1:39
restroom is
1:41
please it just shows that you appreciate
1:44
what the person is doing for you and
1:46
that you want to have them help you and
1:49
it shows a level of appreciation and
1:51
respect
1:54
so please
2:03
can you teach
2:09
me
2:13
or
2:14
can
2:17
you
2:18
teach
2:21
me
2:25
please you can put it before or at the
2:28
end and if you're ordering food you can
2:31
say I would like to have a soda with my
2:35
bread please or if someone says would
2:39
you like to have ice in your water yes
2:44
please
2:46
yes
2:50
please and if it's something that you
2:52
don't want at that point then you would
2:55
say no thank you and that's where thank
2:59
you comes in
3:01
thank you you want to give to somebody
3:03
whatever you appreciate what they've
3:04
done so if somebody has done for
3:06
something for you you want to make sure
3:08
that you come back with thank you there
3:11
are so many different ways to say thank
3:14
you in the English language so I'm just
3:16
going to go over a few of them that we
3:18
use
3:20
often thank you very much this is a very
3:23
formal way of saying thank you to maybe
3:26
somebody that you work with or somebody
3:28
that has done a favor for you that you
3:29
are grateful for when you are grateful
3:32
you show your appreciation to People by
3:35
saying thank you so you might say thank
3:38
you very much for turning in your paper
3:41
on time thank you very much for setting
3:44
up that meeting for me you can also say
3:48
thanks that's something you would say to
3:50
a friend or somebody that you know very
3:52
well and maybe they you know put the
3:56
dishes away for you your roommate put
3:57
the dishes away for you hey I put the
3:59
dishes way for you today thanks you
4:02
could say thanks a lot you could say
4:05
thanks a ton you could also say thanks a
4:09
million to show your different ways of
4:12
being grateful and showing that
4:16
gratitude one way that we can show
4:18
gratitude for something that is maybe
4:20
more serious in our lives would be I
4:23
cannot thank you
4:25
enough so let me give you an example
4:29
let's say my mother fell and hurt
4:31
herself at home and unfortunately I'm at
4:35
work so I cannot help her but one of our
4:39
neighbors the neighbor that lives next
4:41
door to my mother she is home and she is
4:45
able to take my mother to the doctor to
4:48
make sure that she is okay if she
4:51
wouldn't have taken my mother to the
4:52
doctor I don't know what I would have
4:54
done so when I see that neighbor again I
4:58
will say to her I cannot thank you
5:02
enough I cannot thank you enough for
5:06
taking my mother to the doctor when she
5:07
needed it because I could not be
5:10
there I cannot thank you enough that
5:14
means that there are not enough times
5:17
that I could say thank you to show my
5:20
appreciation and my gratitude for what
5:23
you have
5:24
done now we have to remember whenever
5:27
we're saying please and thank you that
5:30
we also add your
5:42
welcome and this
5:44
your is shortened for you
5:52
are so whenever you ask for
5:55
something may I please sit next to you
5:58
at the table
6:01
yes you may thank you very much you're
6:05
welcome you're welcome comes after we
6:08
say thank
6:10
you thank you for taking my mother to
6:12
the hospital you're
6:14
welcome thank you for getting out of my
6:17
way so that I can move forward you're
6:20
welcome your welcome is a way of of
6:22
acknowledging that they said thank you
6:25
to
6:26
you so you're welcome or you could say
6:30
no
6:35
problem or even no
6:42
worries those are all more informal ways
6:45
to say you're welcome but your welcome
6:48
is the most widely accepted and the
6:50
easiest one to go to if you're not sure
6:52
what to
6:54
say now another thing that is really
6:57
important when you are showing
6:58
appreciation and respect for people is
7:01
that you apologize if something has gone
7:04
wrong and you know that it's your fault
7:07
this can be something little it could be
7:09
something as small as running into
7:11
someone on the street on accident you're
7:14
walking by you bump them oh I'm sorry
7:18
I'm sorry is what you say when you've
7:20
done something that you didn't mean to
7:22
do and you want to make sure that they
7:24
know that you feel badly for it so you
7:27
use I'm sorry
7:30
I'm so sorry I'm so sorry is far more
7:35
advanced so that's something that you
7:37
would say for maybe a a friend has lost
7:40
a loved one I'm so sorry that you lost
7:43
your
7:44
father or I'm so sorry that you broke
7:47
your
7:48
leg or I'm so sorry that I didn't call
7:52
you when I said that I would I'm so
7:54
sorry can show a sentiment or a feeling
7:57
that you have about a situation
8:00
that may or may not be your fault but it
8:03
shows that you feel badly for them and
8:06
the situation that they're in so you say
8:09
that you are so
8:11
sorry and you ask for
8:14
forgiveness please accept my
8:18
apology you could say I'm so sorry that
8:23
I didn't call you when I said that I
8:24
would please accept my
8:27
apology and then in response want you
8:30
could say oh thank you I accept your
8:32
apology or I forgive
8:43
you these are important things when it
8:45
comes to relating to somebody especially
8:47
if it's somebody you don't know very
8:49
well you want to be clear and
8:51
communicate with them and tell them that
8:54
you're sorry if you've done something
8:55
that you didn't mean to
8:57
do I would like to apologize olizee for
9:00
not calling I would like to apologize
9:03
for not showing up on
9:06
time I would like to apologize for being
9:10
too loud or talking too much please
9:14
forgive me now sometimes we will just
9:18
say sorry very short and that's used
9:21
when you maybe do something on accident
9:24
so for instance when you run into
9:25
somebody on accident on the street you
9:27
can just say sorry you don't have to say
9:30
please forgive me it was an accident you
9:32
did not do it on purpose so a simple
9:35
sorry or even excuse me
9:38
works so if you know that you need to
9:41
get through a group of people the best
9:43
thing for you to say is please excuse me
9:48
or excuse me
9:50
please or if you accidentally run into
9:53
somebody you can also say excuse me
9:56
sorry and that's your way of apologizing
9:59
for for having run into them because you
10:01
did not do it on purpose it was an
10:04
accident and then typically someone will
10:07
come back with that's
10:15
okay or even no problem or no worries
10:20
and that's their way of saying it's okay
10:23
I understand that it was an accident
10:24
thank you for acknowledging it and
10:26
saying that you're sorry but it's not a
10:28
problem
10:30
so this is a very short lesson on the
10:33
differences between please and thank you
10:37
and I'm sorry so what I'd like to do now
10:40
is do a little exercise to kind of talk
10:42
through how this would work so I'm going
10:45
to use a story to help you remember so
10:49
we're going to pretend like I am in
10:51
school and I need help with my
10:55
homework so I'm going to call two of my
10:58
friends
10:59
and when I call them I say hi this is
11:04
Kristen would you be able to help me
11:06
with my homework
11:08
please can you help me
11:11
please so I call them on the phone and I
11:13
leave these two people these messages
11:16
and I
11:18
say can
11:21
you
11:23
help
11:25
me please
11:32
now I have one friend and she calls me
11:36
back right away and she says yes I would
11:40
be happy to help
11:42
you
11:45
yes I will help
11:54
you so in response to that I say
12:00
thank you very much for helping
12:24
me now I would like to point out that
12:27
when you use thank you an easy way to
12:29
remember how to finish the sentence is
12:31
to take the verb and add
12:35
in
12:36
ining so it could be thank you for
12:40
teaching
12:41
me thank you for calling
12:45
me thank you for showing me you just add
12:50
ing to the end of the verb and that
12:53
finishes your sentence for when you want
12:56
to thank somebody after they have helped
12:58
you
13:00
now my other friend didn't call back
13:03
until it had been about 3 or 4 days and
13:07
then she called me and she
13:10
said I'm
13:16
sorry
13:17
I could
13:23
not help
13:27
you please
13:33
forgive
13:37
me for
13:40
not
13:43
calling
13:47
sooner so that's my friend saying I'm
13:50
sorry I could not help you please
13:53
forgive me for not calling sooner she's
13:56
apologizing because she couldn't help me
13:58
and she didn't call me back when she
14:00
should have to let me know so that's her
14:04
way of
14:05
apologizing and I would respond with
14:08
thank you for your apology but it's okay
14:12
because she helped me earlier this
14:15
week so you can come back with that's
14:18
okay or even I forgive you I forgive you
14:22
I got the help that I needed I
14:23
appreciate your apology it's always nice
14:26
to let people know that you appreciate
14:28
them
14:29
so I hope that this lesson has helped
14:31
you understand when to use please when
14:35
to use thank you and when to say I'm
14:38
