You are the best teacher ever, Rebecca! Keep doing the great work!

[@excitingmarmot2820]

Finally i found a legit teacher on RUclips! Other teachers talk too much but you talk clear and calmly

[@valdezenglishcourses]

Excellent video and good explanation and you are right when we ask someone to do something for us. We have to do it in a polite way. WOULD YOU MIND + VERB IN ING-FORM is the structure we have to use with this expression. Whenever I explain this structure to my students I Explain them the ing-form after this expression. Thank you very much for all your wonderful videos that are helping a lot of students around the world.

Hi Becca thanks for the video,another important polite request I would like to mention is, I lived in Wales for many years and people in here prefer to say : ''Can I have a cup of Latte please'' when they ordering in the coffee shops whereas when I went to London, people rather say : ''I want a cup of latte'' which is not wrong but... :)

[@NZChannel22]

Christopher Karki You repled my question after seven years, that's strange...anyways thank you teacher 🌺

[@norme1850]

I have a friend who never asks in a question form. He always says, "I need you to...." when he wants help with anything. Like he's ordering people to do what he wants instead of asking them if they would do it for him. Of course I always reject his request for help since I really don't like being bossed around. Oh, and he's one of those types that always shows up at my house unannounced and uninvited like every week. In the 40 years since I've known him, I've never asked him for any favors or help with anything, but just about every time he visits me, he always wants help with something.

[@emiraltair2220]

[@naharbegum8059]

many many thanks.

[@huramiga1]

Thank you Rebecca.

[@ramapatitiwari3927]

Would you tell me please ..
in the sentence " Would you mind opening the window please ?" What kind of word ' opening' is ? Is this a gerund, a present participle or a main verb ?
Thank you !

[@thunder05cglennalvitres82]

gerund

[@rihamosama9652]

is it correct if I say may you close the window .??...why we always say may I...? not may you

[@simonsez464]

It's the difference between making a request and asking permission. "May" is used when someone wants to do something but they need another person's permission. "May I open the window?" > "Yes, you may." or "Would you mind if I opened the window?" > "No (I wouldn't), go ahead." or "Would it be OK if I opened the window?"> "Sure, go ahead."

[@dzinengland4957]
