✕Common Mistakes
S'il te plaît, apporte moi du savon et du shampooing en plus.
In the imperative, the pronoun must be attached with a hyphen: *apporte‑moi*.
S'il vous plaît, apporte‑moi du savon et du shampooing en plus.
If you’re speaking informally (using *tu*), use *s’il te plaît*; *s’il vous plaît* is for formal or plural contexts.
S'il te plaît, apporte‑moi du savon et de la shampooing en plus.
The word *shampooing* is masculine, so the correct partitive article is *du*, not *de la*.

Cultural Tip
In French, the level of politeness is conveyed by the choice between “s’il te plaît” (informal) and “s’il vous plaît” (formal or plural). Also, the partitive article *du* is used before masculine singular nouns when you refer to an indefinite quantity. Adding *en plus* signals that the request is an addition to something already discussed, a nuance often used in everyday conversation.
