CAN COULD MAY AND WOULD

Hi girls.

Remember you have an exam about CAN, COULD, MAY AND WOULD: requests, permission, offers and invitations,  for next class. Study hard.

You have to print  the following text for next class. This is the grammar topic and the exercises.

CAN, COULD, MAY AND WOULD: requests, permission, offers and invitations

a)      Asking people to do things (requests)

We often use can or would when we ask someone to do something:

-Can you wait a moment, please?

-Ann, can you do me a favour?

-Excuse me. Could you tell me how to get to the station?

To ask for something  you can say  Can I have…?/ Could I have…?May I have…?

-(in a shop) Can I have these postcards, please?

-(at table) Could I have the salt, please?

b)      Asking for and giving permission

-We often use CAN,COULD or MAY to ask permission to do something:

-(on the telephone) Hello, Can I speak to Tom, please?

-Could I use your telephone? Yes, of course.

-Do you think I could borrow your bicycle? Yes, help yourself.

-May I come in? Yes, please do.

To give permission, we use CAN or MAY (but not COULD)

-You can (or may) smoke if you like.

Use CAN/CANT to talk about what is already allowed or not allowed:

-You can drive for a year in Britian with an international licence.

- If  you are under 17, you cant drive a car in Britian.

c)      We sometimes use CAN when we offer to do things:

-Can I get you a cup of coffee?  That is very nice of you  

-(in a shop) Can I help you, madam?. No thanks.

d)     For offering and inviting we use WOULD YOU LIKE…?(not do you like)

-Would you like a cup of coffee? (not do you like)

-Would you like to come to the cinema?
