How to Enter/Leave Room: step-by-step guide

Entering and leaving a room politely is a short routine. Watch the video, then practice at home.

  1. Pause at the doorway and look inside to see who is there.

  2. Knock if the door is closed and wait for someone to answer.

  3. Step in and say hello to the people in the room.

  4. Find a seat or an open spot instead of standing in the doorway.

  5. When you are ready to leave, wait for a pause in the conversation.

  6. Say goodbye or see you later, then walk out.

  7. Close the door quietly behind you if it was closed before.

Ask Iris

See it first. Go with confidence.

Hi, I'm Iris! Tell me what you're looking for: a place to preview (like "Park Library" or "a dentist office"), a specific city (like "Lansing, MI" or "Petoskey, MI"), or a how-to video (like "tying shoes" or "self-checkout"), and I'll find it for you.

Or browse all tours or the video library.
