Explicación

〜てください is the polite way to ask someone to do something. It is made by using the verb’s て-form and adding ください. Key points: • Verb て-form + ください • Polite and common for requests • Softer than a direct command • Use with people you don’t know well For example, “見てください” means “Please look.” “書いてください” means “Please write.” The request sounds polite and natural. You can also use it with objects: “この漢字を読んでください” means “Please read this kanji.” Do not use dictionary form with ください. Always convert the verb to て-form first. As a beginner, remember that 〜てください is a safe, polite way to ask for help. It is useful in class, stores, and daily life.
