Excuse me, and good manners at the table, sentence 0

"Excuse me" is a small key that opens many doors: you say it to get past people, to get a shop assistant's attention, after a burp by accident, and "May I please be excused?" before you leave the table.

Who acts: small key, you, shop assistant, accident · What happens: excuse, be, open, say, get, leave · To what, where: me, small key, many doors, key, attention, I · Speech: someone speaks here
