I am looking for an expression how to ask 'leave the classroom for several minutes to call somebody or to blow my nose, etc.''leave the classroom for several minutes to call somebody or to blow my nose, etc.' We usually use such an expression 'May I come in' when we would like to enter the room and I am looking for its antonym. Is it suitable to use 'go out/go off' for this purpose? I mean 'to leave the room for several minutes and then go back.'
