Hi! What do you usually say to your students at the end of the lesson? Is it correct to say: You �can pack up and leave! And how do they ask me if they can do this?
Thanks!!

Hi,
I always ask my pupils if they have any question about the lesson (I mean if there is something not clear) and then I tell them "see you next time". |

You are right, Freddy, it �s correct to say �You can pack up and leave. � but it �s even better to say �You may pack up and leave. � and students may ask �May we pack up and leave? �
I usually say things like:
~ Did you have fun today?
~ See you next time.
(my classes usually end abruptly, due to lack of time, and trying to fit in as much as possible!)

You can also say: "You may go" "You are dismissed" "Have a nice day"- that �s how I usually say goodbye to my students. Sophia |

I tell them to clean up their desks and get in line. When it �s time to let them leave the class, I tell them goodbye or any parting expressions. |

I tell my students "get ready, you �re free to go, see you next claaaass!!!"
I say that very very quickly, and like a chant, although it doesn �t rhyme; they laugh at the way I say it. It �s fun so they remember my farewell as years pass by.....
Take care

Put you things away and you can go.
�Pack up and leave � sounds to me what someone would do if they were angry.
I would also say the using �may � is very formal, I wouldn �t use that level of formality with my kids. But that �s just me.

I agree with dawnmain. �may � is just not used as much any more...it �s considered rather formal.
I often say to my students what my dentist used to say: "ok you can escape now".
I also have a sign which says �class over � and I just silently hold that up to the students amusement.
When I �m feeling lazy I just say �Bye... �
You �ve probably gathered I am a bit of a crazy teacher but I (and the students) love it.

I say "thank you very much for your hardgood work. The lesson is over.See you next time"
Sometimes when the lesson was too serious I say - if you want to go home, just say something in good English, correctly and you may be dismissed. If not. you �ll have to stay here overnight))) They just love it. I come up to each one of them, they say something and I dismiss them one by one.
Hope it helps you
