3) IMPERATIVE: Let's + Base form
• Let's
go to the swimming pool tomorrow!
4) COULD

could go to the swimming pool tomorrow.
5) DO YOU WANT + the infinitive

B.REQUESTING
SOMETHING
Requesting Something is what we say when
we want to ask someone to do something for us.
ASK SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU :
• Requesting
• Would
you mind …, please?
• Can/Could
you …?
• Will/Would
you …?
• Please
…
• Accepting
Requests
• Sure,
I’d be glad/happy to …
• Of
course/Certainly.
• No
problem.
• Sure.
Just a moment.
• Refusing
Requests
• I’d
loved to, but …
• It
sounds great, but …
• I’m/sorry,
but …
• Sorry
to say that …
Example
making polite request :
• Could
you open the window for me, please?
• Would
you mind closing the door for us, please?"
• Can
you close the door for me, please?
• Could
you possibly show me the way to the post office, please?
• Would
you help me with this exercise, please?
The responses for that polite request can be :
• Sure.
• Certainly.
• Why
not
• With
a pleasure.
• I'd
be glad to.
• I
am afraid I can't.
• I
am sorry I can't.
The pattern
• Would
you mind is followed by the verb and -ing.
ASKING IF YOU CAN DO SOMETHING :
• Asking
polite permission to do something
• "Can
I use your phone, please?"
• "Could
I borrow some money from you, please?"
• "Do
you mind if I turn on television?"
• "Would
you mind if I turned off the lamp?"
• The
responses can be
• No.
I don't mind
• Not
at all
• No,
of course not
• No,
that would be fine
• I
am afraid, yes
• Yes,
I do mind
• The
pattern
• Could is
more polite than can.
• Do
you mind if…" is followed by the verb in the present tense.
• would
you mind if… is followed by the verb in the past tense.
