Next, you need to know that you have the correct type and number of settings on your dining table for a formal meal to have. Youshould know what fit in the lid of your table.

For example, if you serve salad first, the salad fork should be on the way out fork on the left side of the plate with a fork (or next course "), the next closest to the plate, and so on. Knives and spoons are be placed on the right sidethe plate with the cut side facing the plate. Spoons are the blades on the outside.

The water glass should be placed at the tip of the knife and the napkin next to the fork (put the left).
