Respuesta rápida
Boys vs girls: assembling furniture
When you build furniture with someone, ask "Where does this go?" when you don't know where a part belongs. Ask for help with "Hold this for me," or add "can you" to make it softer. Give advice with "Always read the instructions," but say it kindly so it doesn't sound bossy.

Explicación de cada frase
-
Where does this go? Casual question
Use it when you're holding a part and don't know where it belongs. It works for furniture, boxes, dishes, or anything you put away. It's informal, so in a formal setting you might say "Could you tell me where this goes?"
“Where does this go?”
-
Hold this for me. Friendly request
Use it when your hands are full and you need someone to hold something for a moment. Without "can you" or "please," it can sound like an order, so use the short form only with people you know well.
“Hold this for me.”
-
Always read the instructions. Direct, a bit bossy
Use it to give advice, often after something went wrong. Say it with a smile or a soft voice. If you say it sharply, the other person may hear criticism instead of advice.
“Always read the instructions.”
-
Can you pass me the screwdriver? Polite, everyday request
Use it to ask someone to hand you a tool or object. Change the noun as needed: the hammer, the screws, the manual. It's fine with friends, family, and coworkers.
“Can you pass me the screwdriver?”
-
I think this piece is upside down. Gentle, careful
Use it when you notice a mistake. "I think" makes it softer, so it doesn't sound like you are blaming the other person. Don't use it if you're completely sure and need to stop someone right away.
“I think this piece is upside down.”
-
We're missing a screw. Neutral, informative
Use it when a part you need isn't in the box or on the floor. Saying "we" keeps it a shared problem. If you have one too many, say "We have an extra screw" instead.
“We're missing a screw.”
Errores frecuentes

Where this goes?Mejor Where does this go?
In this question, use "does" before "this" and the base form "go" after it. "Where this goes" is the word order inside a longer sentence, as in "I don't know where this goes."
-
No del todo
Read always the instructions.Mejor Always read the instructions.
In this instruction, put "always" before "read." It tells the listener to read the instructions every time.
-
No del todo
Hold this. (said sharply to someone you don't know)Mejor Can you hold this for me, please?
The short form sounds like an order. With strangers or coworkers, add "can you" and "please" so it sounds like a request.
