Hello again! It’s Dana with another quick English point.

This week’s point is...

−−−−−−−−−−−−

Excuse me.

−−−−−−−−−−−−

In English we use ”Excuse me.” in different situations such as:

*passing someone in a crowded area
*getting someone’s attention
*when we don’t understand what a person said

**Another way we use this phrase in the US is when we do something that is thought to be rude. For example, if you burp loudly in a restaurant, you should say ”Excuse me.”

But we almost never use this phrase to apologize for something. 
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

A very similar phrase is ”Pardon me.” You can use this and ”Excuse me.” in almost the same situations.

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

That’s all for now. See you next time!!
Good luck!
