Next, find the forks and place them to the left of each plate.

Forks go to the left because they are used first, which helps us remember proper etiquette.

Now, locate the knives and place them to the right of each plate, with the blade facing the plate.

The knife's blade should face the plate to ensure safety, so we don't accidentally touch it.

Find the spoons and place them to the right of the knives.

This order helps us remember which utensil to use first, enhancing our table-setting skills.

Now, look for the napkins and place them either on the plates or to the left of the forks.

Placing the napkin neatly shows good manners and helps keep the table tidy.

Finally, find the water glasses and place them above the knives.

It's important to have enough space around each item so we don't spill or drop anything. This promotes table safety.
