“Would like” is a polite way to say “I want” in English.For
example:“I want to buy a
ticket” is impolite because “I want” sounds selfish and arrogant.
“I would like to buy a
ticket please” is polite and friendly.

What is Mrs. short for?
History and etiquette tell us that Mister and Missus, known by the
contractions Mr. and Mrs., are the proper form
of address for men and women. Beneath the surface of these everyday honorifics lies a linguistic glitch that has spawned social havoc since “Mrs.”
entered mainstream English in the 17th century.

I've got to get my own place
You
live with your parents, but you get really annoyed with them. You're fed up
with it and feel like you really want to move into an apartment by yourself. I've
got to get my own place.
