How do I set a formal dinner table?

Would you like me to explain the conventions of the various different table settings, or are you trying to figure out how to get certain items in particular places?
assistant
I just want to know where to place everything on the table.

Let’s start with the basics. Each place setting has a particular purpose in the context of a formal dinner. In this sense, it’s like having friends over for dinner. In most cases, the traditional place setting will include a knife, a fork, and a spoon, though there are some exceptions.

Yeah, but where do I place the utensils around the plate? I know there is a specific order for formal dining.
