The word please is a verb. It is used in a number of different ways. For example, I could say, you please me, meaning I like you. Or I could say, please come in, which is actually an abbreviated version of "come in if it pleases you to do so". But the word please means the same thing in both cases; to please is to cause happiness or pleasure.

Please is also an adverb. Its function is to modify the verb, much in the same way that "kindly" would be used. Observe:

Would you please get the mail?

Would you kindly get the mail?

In both cases, "please" and "kindly" modify the verb "get."
