Situation B Read the situations and make requests. Use the verbs in parentheses.
Request
1. You lost your friend's phone number.
(send)
Please send me your phone number.
2. You want your friend to call his father.
(give)
3. You want your parents to buy your sister a printer. (buy)
4. You want your friend to pay you by check.
(write)

2. Please, give your father a call.

3. Please, buy her a printer.

4. Please, write me a check.

Explanation:

To make requests, we can simply use the imperative mood. To form a sentence in the imperative mood, we use the base form of the verb without "to". No subject should be added before the verb, since it is implied that the sentence refers to the second person (you). For example:

Bring me that newspaper.

However, imperative sentences often sound a bit rude. To make them more polite, we can use "please":

Please, bring me that newspaper.

Bring me that newspaper, please.
