Lesson four. Respond to 'please' and 'thank you' in English. English lessons with Duncan in England.
Please and thank you are usually associated with politeness. We use them a lot in English.
Word order: We usually put please at the end of a request with could, can and would, but we can also put it at the beginning or in the middle. Please in the mid position makes the request stronger.
