| – Mr se usa para hombres (casados o solteros) y Mrs para mujeres casadas. Miss se usa con el apellido o con el nombre y el apellido: Miss Baden o Miss Lucy Baden pero nunca se usa con el nombre propio únicamente: Llegó la señorita Baden . Miss Baden arrived. Por su parte, Ms se usa sólo para mujeres cuando no se conoce su estado civil. |
| – Good night se usa como fórmula de despedida. Si se quiere decir buenas noches, se dice good evening: Buenas noches, amigos míos. Good evening, my friends (aunque sean las 23:00 hs.). |
| – How do you do (Encantado, Mucho gusto) se utiliza para presentaciones formales y al responder se repite la fórmula, mientras que How are you? (¿Cómo estás?) se emplea para situaciones informales y se responde con Fine, Very well, Great, Not so well, etc. (Bien, Muy bien, Fantástico, No tan bien, etc.) |
| –En inglés británico se utiliza Excuse me para interrumpir a alguien y se emplea Sorry para pedir disculpas por algo. En inglés americano se prefiere utilizar Excuse me en lugar de Sorry. |
| (9) Cuando estornudas puedes disculparte con Excuse me y quienes te acompañan pueden decirte Bless you! (¡Salud!) |
