When to use

✕Common Mistakes
Schau an dir bitte unsere Stornierungsbedingungen.
The reflexive pronoun must stay before *bitte* and the verb parts stay separated: *Schau dir … an*.
Schau du bitte unsere Stornierungsbedingungen an.
In the imperative you do not add the subject pronoun *du*; it is implied.
unsere Stornierungsbedingungen bitte anschauen.
When using the infinitive *anschauen*, the polite request needs a modal verb or *bitte* at the beginning, e.g., *Bitte schauen Sie…*.

Cultural Tip
German business communication values clarity. An imperative can sound abrupt, so adding *bitte* (or using the formal *Sie* form) is essential to keep the tone courteous. In a fully formal setting you would replace *dir* with *Ihnen* and *Schau* with *Schauen Sie*: *Schauen Sie bitte unsere Stornierungsbedingungen an.*
