B. CONTENT NOTES

I. Content and Skill Building:

1. We have used modal verbs (“can” and “cannot”) for making invitations. You can also use
modal verbs to make requests.

There are many different ways of making polite requests in English. If you don't want to sound
rude when speaking English, then you need to know how to make a request in a polite way.

Requests in English are usually made in the form of questions. Use:

“Would you mind if I...? / Could I possibly...? / Could you possibly...? / Do you think you could...?”

to sound more polite, especially for demanding requests. If it is an urgent request that you
cannot accept, we usually say, “Sorry” before saying no.

Look at the phrases:
