Cultural Tip

In French, *s'il te plaît* is used with people you address informally (friends, family, peers). If you are speaking to a stranger, a client, or a professional (e.g., a doctor), switch to the formal *s'il vous plaît* and the formal imperative *prenez*. Also, French speakers often prefer *prendre rendez‑vous* over the Anglicism *fixer un rendez‑vous* in formal writing.
