Episode 4 Part 4
WIZARD: So, Alejandro is having problems with the restaurant. And he looks uncomfortable asking Joe for help. Hmm. Is it because she is a woman? Is it because she's younger than he is? Ha ha! We'll find out in a minute if Alejandro is too proud to ask for help. (chuckles) But now, today's lesson. Commands. We use commands to give instructions and when we want someone to do something. Lets watch. ALEJANDRO: Get up off your seat. Go into the dining room, and clean off the table! RESPECTABLE MAN: 'Bring us' two cups of fresh coffee. WIZARD: When we add 'please' to a command, it's more polite. ALEJANDRO: Carmen, please put out the place mats. Carmen: OK. WIZARD: Great. We also learned about 'let's'. We use 'let's' when we want to do something WITH another person. Now 'let's' watch and listen! ALEJANDRO: Now, let's get to work! RESPECTABLE MAN: I've had it up to here (moves finger across throat). Let's go!
