Прервать кого-либо

Чтобы прервать кого-либо, используйте excuse me, даже когда вы чихнули! Чтобы извиниться, используйте Гш sorry -1 am sorry -1 do apologise. Очень невежливо ответить просто Yes или No. Употребляйте всегда краткий ответ: No, Гт not / Yes, I сап... Отрицательный ответ будет смягчен, если вы его начнете выражением Гт afraid...

Используйте Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms

Если вы используете...

— Мг (мужчина)

— Mrs (замужняя женщина)

— Miss (незамужняя женщина)

— Ms (женщина, независимо от ее семейного положения, произносится Miz) ... вы должны добавить фамилию. Нельзя сказать: Good morning, Mrs.
