Practice 2

Imagine you are in these situations.
Make polite requests with Would you
mind. Then think of possible replies.

Example: You are talking to your English teacher.
A: Would you mind explaining a grammar rule to me?
B: Not at all. How can I help you?

1. You are talking to your boss.
2. You want your co-worker to help you.
3. You want your children to clean up their rooms.
4. You want your wife/ husband to help you cook dinner.
Would you mind …?
Use would you mind + gerund to make polite requests.

Would you
mind opening
the door for me?

Gerund =
base form
+ -ing
Be Careful!
When we answer this type of request with Not at all, it means that we will
do what the person requests.

Would you mind
looking over my
assignment?

I don’t
mind at
all!
Not at all!
OK.
I’ll do
it!
