We left the school compound only after the watchman gave us the all-clear. [I mean that there was something dangerous existed outside school compound, may be fighting or stone pelting..........so we stayed inside the school compound till when the watchman told all the dangerous situation had ended]

This paragraph is very clear to me after u revised it. [I mean - This paragraph is very easy to understand ...........]

If I want to take days off from school, I should clear it with my principal first.

Weather cleared up now, and I think now we can continue our match.

 

Correct my sentences.

This paragraph is very clear to me after you revised it.-- Come on, Gary - if you are serious about your English, then spell 'you' properly.

If I want to take any days off from school, I should clear it with my principal first.

The weather has cleared up now, so I think we can continue our match.

 

Correct my sentences.

What happened to 'please', Gary?

Thank you Mister Micawber.

Correct my sentences.

What happened to 'please', Gary?


You know it.

Anyway, Is this incorrect if I don't put "please"?

It is not incorrect if you are a dictator.  It is very imperious, and you may get negative reactions-- or no one to answer your questions.

With 'please' you are asking.

Without 'please' you are demanding.
