| 1. V て-form ください Please do… |
This sentence pattern is used to ask, instruct or encourage the listener to
do something.
Naturally, if the listener is one’s superior, this expression cannot be used
for giving instructions to him/her.
The sentences shown below are examples of asking, instructing and encouraging,
respectively.
| ① | すみませんが、この かんじの よみかたを おしえて ください。 I’m sorry to bother you, but please tell me how to read this kanji. |
| ② | ここに じゅうしょと なまえを かいて ください。 Please write your name and address here. |
| ③ | ぜひ あそびに きて ください。 Please come to my place. |
When it is used to ask the listener to do something, すみませんが is often added before V て-form ください as in ①. This expression is politer than only saying V て-form ください.
