How do you say …? Give me ... English people don’t like to be told what to do. So if you want something you better say: __________________________________________________. Go away … You have lots to do and don’t want to be bothered. Instead of sending someone away by telling him or her to leave you better tell the person to: ___________________________________________________________. Move. Telling someone to move is extremely impolite. You better say: ___________________________________________________________. No. It’s definitely not easy telling a friend that you can’t make it to his/ her party. But instead of saying just “no” you better say: ___________________________________________________________. Stop it. You are annoyed by something somebody does? Well, you could tell him/ her to just stop it or you ask him/ her: ___________________________________. Wait. You have answered the phone but you are not the one the person on the line requests speaking to. Rather than telling the person to wait you say: ___________________________________________________________. I want … You want something? Don’t just say so but be a bit more polite by asking: ________________________________________________________.
