[Grammar] Take a sit

[yaghoob]

which one is correct?
Take a sit or have a sit.

 

[Roman55]

I am not a teacher.

Neither one.

Take a seat, or have a seat are both OK (if that's what you meant).

 

[emsr2d2]

Take a seat.
Have a seat.
Please sit down.

Would you say "Please be seated" in your everyday English?

 

[Roman55]

I am not a teacher.

No, although there is nothing wrong with it.

'Please be seated' is more often used when addressing a large group of people, in an auditorium for instance, than it is for individuals.

 

[Odessa Dawn]

So is class, please?

Would you say "Please be seated" in your everyday English?

I always think of a courtroom, e.g.:

Judge: “Please be seated.”
Bailiff: “Your honour, our first case is…”

 

[emsr2d2]

So is class, please?

This doesn't make any sense, OD. Can you try again?

 

[Rover_KE]

So is class, please?

If you mean 'Would you say "Please be seated" to a class?', then yes.

Yes, or in church as well!

 

[Odessa Dawn]

Yes, ems. Rover already put it well and answered my question for which I thank you all.
