hello everyone and welcome back to the english danny channel i'm teacher john and i'm here to
help you become great at learning english in this video you will learn about please and
thank you and i'm going to teach you all about the different ways that we do and don't use please and
thank you and other little things that you might not have noticed before or small mistakes that a
lot of students make when they learn these english words so let's talk about the word please pleased
is used for requests and usually we use please to make a request more polite than it would be
without it for example could i have some more please can i help you yes please so we learned
that please can make a request formal but please can also be used for orders however it does not
change in an order into a request it's still an order for example stand up this is an order
stand up please is a more polite order it is not a request a request will almost always be a question
okay and as you can see here these are not questions there are orders we can also use
the verb do after the word please okay to make please do please do can be used as a polite or
formal answer to a request for example do you mind if i use your phone please do
all right so this answer would be very polite or very formal all right so now we've learned
how to use please in a few different situations and and what it means okay so let's learn about
not using please okay we do not use please to ask people what they said or to repeat what they said
for example i must leave at five o'clock sorry or come again or i beg your pardon these are all
good answers okay if you don't know what they said you can't say please
okay they won't know and they won't understand what you're saying so we can't use please in
that situation so we also we do not use please when giving things to people okay for example
can i borrow a pencil sure here you are okay we will not say sure please
okay or please and then give them the pencil that would be very strange so don't use please
when we give things to other people we also do not use please as an answer to thank you
so for example if someone says thank you very much you can say you're welcome okay not please if if
someone says thank you and you say please that will be very strange as well so don't use please
as an answer to thank you so now we've learned about please what we should and should not do
let's learn about banks and thank you we use thanks informally okay and also it's important
to know that thanks cannot be used with a noun or pronoun after it so let's look at some examples
for example thank you very much or thanks very much
not thanks you okay this also sounds very strange so if you say thanks make sure that you don't
follow that word with a noun also as you can see here this thanks a lot is used a lot
by native english speakers alright so if you want to say that make sure be careful don't do not say
thanks you a lot so we learned a little bit about thanks and thank you and now let's learn about
thanks for and thank you for both of these can be used with ing form verbs and gerunds
the possessive words are unnecessary and are not used with thanks for and thank you for so let's
look at an example thank you for driving to the store no problem thanks for giving me some money
not thank you for your driving you can just say thank you for driving all right or thanks for
your giving me no that is incorrect just thanks for giving so now let's learn about accepting
and refusing we use thank you and thanks similarly to how we use yes please when accepting an offer
for example would you like some food thank you in this uh situation thank you means yes please
it has the same meaning no thank you and no thanks are used to refuse offers so for example
would you like some food no thank you alright so we learned about accepting and refusing offers
now let's learn how to respond to thanks and thank you so actually a lot of students don't
know this but it's okay to not respond to thank you if it's for something small
if you want to reply for something that's bigger you can say things like you're welcome
no problem sure thing my pleasure and don't mention it all of these are very good responses
to when when someone tells you thank you all right everyone that's our video for today thank you so
