26 questionsInstant automated feedback
1 Tier 1 – The Concept & Nuance: Degrees of Politeness
Different modal constructions convey distinct levels of formality and politeness when asking people to do things or asking for permission.
🙋 Requests (Asking People to Do Things)
– Can you / Could you: “Could you pass the salt, please?”
– Would you mind + -ing: “Would you mind closing the window?”
– Would you mind + -ing: “Would you mind closing the window?”
🔑 Asking for Permission
– Can I / Could I / May I: “May I sit here?” (Formal).
– Do you mind if I + present: “Do you mind if I open the door?”
– Do you mind if I + present: “Do you mind if I open the door?”
2 Tier 2 – Would you mind if I DID vs Do you mind if I DO
| Would you mind if I opened…? | Followed by past form (opened, sat, borrowed). |
| Do you mind if I open…? | Followed by present form (open, sit, borrow). |
3 Tier 3 – Top 3 Common Learner Pitfalls
✗ Would you mind to close the window?
✓ Would you mind closing the window?
– Rule: Would you mind is followed by the -ing gerund form.
✗ May you help me carry this box?
✓ Could you / Can you help me carry this box?
– Rule: May is used to ask for permission (May I…?), never for second-person requests (May you…?).
✗ Do you like a cup of tea? (offering)
✓ Would you like a cup of tea?
– Rule: Polite invitations and offers use Would you like…?
