1. Using “Please” and “Thank You” (कृपया और धन्यवाद का उपयोग करना)
“Please” और “Thank you” सबसे बुनियादी और महत्वपूर्ण शब्द हैं जो आपकी बातचीत को शिष्ट बनाते हैं।
Examples:
- Ravi: Can you pass me the salt, please? Priya: Sure, here you go. Ravi: Thank you!
- Neha: Could you help me with this project, please? Arjun: Of course, Neha. Neha: Thank you so much!

- जब आपको कुछ मिलता है या मदद मिलती है, तो “Thank you” कहें।
- Practice करें: “Can you [do something], please?” और “Thank you!”
2. Using Polite Greetings (शिष्ट अभिवादन का उपयोग करना)
शिष्टता से अभिवादन करना एक अच्छी आदत है और यह आपकी बातचीत को बेहतर बनाता है।
Examples:
- Ravi: Good morning, Mrs. Sharma. How are you today? Mrs. Sharma: Good morning, Ravi. I’m fine, thank you. How are you?

3. Using “Excuse Me” and “Sorry” (मुझे माफ करें और क्षमा करें का उपयोग करना)
“Excuse me” और “Sorry” का सही उपयोग आपकी बातचीत को और भी शिष्ट बना देता है। ये शब्द तब उपयोगी होते हैं जब आप किसी का ध्यान आकर्षित करना चाहते हैं या अपनी गलती के लिए माफी मांगना चाहते हैं।
Examples:
- Ravi: Excuse me, do you have a moment? Priya: Yes, how can I help you?
- Neha: I’m sorry for being late. Arjun: That’s alright, Neha. Just be careful next time.
Practice:
- जब आप किसी का ध्यान आकर्षित करना चाहते हैं, तो “Excuse me” का उपयोग करें।
- जब आपको अपनी गलती के लिए माफी मांगनी हो, तो “Sorry” कहें।
- Practice करें: “Excuse me,?” और “I’m sorry for [your mistake].”

Therefore, he used present continuous to talk about activity which has started but not over yet.)Examples:
