You know not to eat with your mouth full and to keep your elbows off of the table. Here are some other tips to keep in mind:
1. As soon as you are seated, unfold your napkin and place it on your lap. When you get up to use the restroom, place it on the chair. When you have finished eating and ready to leave the table place it neatly on the table beside your plate, not on it.
2. Your plates for solids are on your left and glasses for your liquids on your right. (For example: the water glass on your right is the one you drink from.)
3. When you're faced with several knives, forks and spoons work "from the outside in".
4. Break your bread into bite size pieces and butter each piece. Never use a knife to slice and butter the bread.
5. Place your silverware together on the outer right rim of the plate between bites. Once it's been used, it never touches the table again.
