HOME>Word Master®>COULD/WOULD YOU (do) ..., (PLEASE)?~してもらえますか
Greetings! Welcome back. From today, we will be offering you a full week of ways to make requests and ask for permission. So, "If you don't mind ...," we'd like to begin.
Enjoy! |
These questions are used to ask someone to do something for you -- to make requests. They are relatively polite, especially when "please" is added. Both are followed by the base form of the verb.
(Be careful: Pay close attention to examples to see how to answer these questions.)
これは誰かに何かを頼むときに使う言い回しです。比較的丁寧な言い方で、pleaseをつけると、より丁寧になります。両方とも動詞は原形を使います。
