介绍:
I would like two students to read some of these requests.
Please raise your hand if you want to try!
The first three requests are for you.
Section 7 has a few requests.
I want you to read the last 2 requests.
Visitor
Using
Garbage
Here, we have 2 types of requests.
The first type is with &`&Modals&`&
And the second type is with &`&Would you mind&`&
Modal + simple form of verb
For example:
Can you turn the stereo off?
Here, the verb is &`&turn off&`&
&`&Turn off&`& is the simple form of the verb.
Here, the modal is &`&Can&`&
When we use a modal, we should ONLY use the simple form of the verb.
Do you understand this so far?
Here are some other examples of modals:
Can
Could
Would CAN you TURN the stereo OFF?
COULD you CLOSE the door, please?
WOULD you please TAKE your garbage OUT?
Turn off
Close
Take out
These are all verbs.
They are all the simple form of the verb.
They are not in the past tense.
They are not in the future tense.
They are not in the present continuous tense.
That is why we call it the simple form of the verb.
Do all of you understand this grammar rule now?
Gerund - 动名词
Would you mind + gerund
For example:
WOULD YOU MIND + TURNING the stereo DOWN?
The verb is:
Turn down
The gerund (动名词)is:
Turning down
Do all of you understand this so far?
Would you mind NOT PUTTING your garbage here?
Grammar rule:
Would you mind + doing something?
Would you mind + NOT doing something?
I want each of you to make a request using a modal
Please raise your hand if you want to try!
You can use a two-part verb in your request if you want.
If you don&`&t want to use a two-part verb, that is also fine.
Would you mind picking the books up?
Modals:
Can
Could
Would
Now I want everyone to use &`&Would you mind + gerund&`&
Would you mind waiting for me?
When we say &`&Would you mind&`&, this is already very polite.
So we don&`&t have to say &`&please&`& here.
We can if we want, but it is not necessary.
Would you mind hanging the coats up IN THE CLOSET?
Would you mind hanging the coats up ON THE WALL?
Would you mind hanging the coats up NEXT TO THE OTHER COATS?
Preposition 介词
For example:
In
On
Under
Above
Behind
Next to
On top of
Below
In front of
Would you mind turning on the air conditioner?
I will give each of you a request.
I want you to choose the correct response.
I want you to read the request first, then say the response.
You have to choose one of these responses
You are all using these grammar rules perfectly.
Making requests and responding to other people&`&s requests are a very important part of communication!
