   Do you mind if I (turn on the TV)?
   Would you mind if I (gave my boyfriend a call)?

We normally give
  permission by
  saying:               To give permission with
*Yes, of course (you
                        Do you mind if I…?
   can/could/may; it
                        Would you mind if I ….
   is, etc);

  borrow a pen?         if I closed the window?
B: Of course it is/     B: No, not at all
  Sure….
REFUSING PERMISSION

•We don’t usually say no to refuse permission because
it isn’t polite
•Instead of saying no, we usually give a reason to say
why we refuse permission.
•When we refuse permission, we often use Sorry,….or
Actually at the beginning of the sentence to be polite.

eg; A: Would you mind If I used your computer?
    B: Actually I’m going to work with it.
REQUESTS: asking someone to
     do something

    Will you carry this for me please
