Verb て form

Attach ください to the て form of a verb to make an affirmative polite request.

Please wait here.

Please read this book.

Note

When used as an auxiliary verb following another verb to mean 'please do something', ください is generally written in hiragana rather than the kanji 下さい.

Used to politely request or ask someone not to perform an action.

Verb ない form

Attach でください to the negative short form (ない form) of a verb to make a negative polite request.

Please do not go.

Please do not forget that.

Note

Be careful to always include the particle で after the ない form. Saying ないください is grammatically incorrect; it must always be ないでください.
