Free practice on Polite Language for Class 3, following the Cameroon primary school curriculum (English subsystem). Every answer is explained, so a parent who is not sure of the answer can still help.
Polite words are like magic — they make people happy! Say 'please' when you ask for something, 'thank you' when you receive it, and 'sorry' when you make a mistake.
Polite words: Please · Thank you · Sorry · Excuse me · You're welcome · May I?
Instead of 'Give me water!', say 'Please may I have some water?' Instead of 'Move!', say 'Excuse me, may I pass?' Polite language shows respect.
