You're working independently. You don't understand one question. Your teacher is helping someone else, and your friend beside you is working.
I would reread the directions, look at an example, think about what I already know, and then ask a friend. If I'm still stuck, I can ask the teacher.
You finish your work. Your friend is still working. You whisper:“Come on! Let's play!”
