✕Common Mistakes
S'il vous plaît, offre ces sièges.
Mixing formal “vous” with informal imperative “offre” sounds inconsistent; use either fully informal or fully formal.
S'il te plaît, offrez ces sièges.
“offrez” is the formal/plural imperative; with “te” you need the singular informal form “offre”.
S'il te plaît, offre ce siège.
The noun “siège” is plural here, so the demonstrative must be “ces”, not “ce”.

Cultural Tip
In French, “S'il te plaît” is informal; when speaking to strangers, staff, or anyone you’d address with “vous”, switch to “S'il vous plaît”. Also, while “offrir” works, native speakers more often use “donner” or “passer” when referring to handing over seats.
