Bookmark or Share- Part of speech for "please" followed by a verbOct 26, 2011 at 15:35. @FumbleFingers: The reason they say "please" is an adverb is because it modifies the whole action, attaching to the whole thing. "May it please you to" is an adverb phrase for the same reason, as is "If you can do it". – Ron Maimon. Mar 14, 2012 at 6:08.
- In what cases should I use a comma after "please"?The adverb "please" modifies the verb "eat" and is adjacent to it, so a comma is not required. But a comma may be added if the word "please" has some special emphasis in this context or is a transitional word from another sentence. "Eat your broccoli. Please eat your broccoli." "Eat your broccoli. Please, eat your broccoli."
- "Than" vs "Then" when answering question; e.g., "Then yes."B: Yes. A: It starts at 11pm. B: Then no.. Is the above usage of "Then no" proper or should it instead be "Than no"? Obviously, there are other grammatical usages possible, but this question is specifically asking whether "than" or "then" is proper in an exchange like the above. Thank you.
- synonyms - When is it appropriate to use "Yeah" and "Yep" as variants ...Yes is not a formal word; you can use it in both formal and informal contexts.. Looking at the definitions given for yeah, yeh, yep, or yup, all those words are defined as exclamation & noun nonstandard spelling of yes, representing informal pronunciation.
- politeness - Can "Sure" be used to respond to "Thanks"? - English ...15. In OP's context, Sure as a response is simply a polite/vague/positive word with friendly connotations. It doesn't really mean much at all; you could compare it to replying with something like Okay, No problem, or Don't mention it. In many other contexts, sure more emphatically conveys definitely, really, absolutely, very.
