Hello,

1. I have brought some biscuits. ________, have one.

I have to fill in the blank with a suitable word. I can only think about "please".

Is there any other word?

Thanks.

I don't think 'please' is suitable because of the comma before 'have'. Have you inserted a comma inadvertently?

'Come on' doesn't work because the question asks for a suitable wo

Hi,

You could say 'Here, have one'. 'Here' is a word that is often used with the act of giving.

Or you could, of course, say 'Fred, have one'.

I don't see why the comma rules out "please." "Please have one" may not need a comma grammatically, but personally I see no problem with inserting one to indicate that the speaker paused after "please." "Please, have one" seems fine to me.

To me, "Please, have one" is not correct. "Have one, please" is fine.
