Thanks everybody, for joining us.

As I said, Today's topic is how to make requests and offers how to make requested offers great for beginners.

So if you have not already, please make sure to like and share the video and then we'll get started.

I am going to share the video, and then I'm going to begin today's lesson.

As usual, I have made today's lesson in three parts we're going to talk about at first how to make requests.

Second will talk about how to make offers, and third, I'll introduce some other some other patterns that relate to both of these.

So let's get started with the 1st 1 The first part for today is making requests, making requests.

So a request to review a request is when you want something from someone, so you want an object from someone, or you want someone to do something for you.

So that means when you need help when you need information.

And so on these air, the patterns you can use to make simple request simple requests.

So this is interesting because we can use all of these in the same way we can follow all of these with an infinitive verb.

So let's start with this 1st 1 will you?

Will you for this lesson, I'm going to focus on this, you pattern.

So that means I'm asking you the listener directly.

You can change this, You two, uh, he or she can hear, can she?

I'll talk about that a little more later.

For now, let's begin with this pattern, Will you?

Plus the infinitive form of aver.

So the infinitive form of a verb means the basic form of the verb.

When you look at the verb in the dictionary.

Easy two plus verb.

Yeah.

Like to eat or to sleep or to help.

That's the infinitive form of the verb.

So there's no change to the verb.

So we use in the first example pattern.

Will you plus infinitive for So for example, will you help me, please?

Or will you buy me a coffee?

So the verb following the verb after this will you is in the infinitive for no change to this verb here.

Will you buy me a coffee?

Is a simple request.

A simple request.

The second pattern is Can you Can you sew in today's English we use.

Can you and will you four requests in the same way they have the same goal.

Really?

If you want to be really, really specific, we can refers to possibility.

So if you want to be really slick, strict and specific like this would mean is it possible for you to do something?

Is it possible?

But we use this in today's English too mean Do this thing for me, Or will you do this thing?

So in today's English, these two have the same purpose and the same meeting will you?

And can you sew again?

Can you plus the infinitive form of a verb?

For example?

Can you show me how to use this software?

Can you show me how to use this software so again?

Can you?

Right here is followed by so after can you is show show the verb show.

So can you show me how to use this software?

So this can you show me pattern is a really good pattern to use When you want someone to teach you something Can you show me how to blah, blah, blah?

Can you show me how to use?

Can you show me how to start this car?

This smart car, Can you show me how to something?

So this show is a natural verb choice.

Sometimes I hear Lerner say, can you please teach me to do this thing if there's no communication problem there but at least for North American English speakers, we use the verb show.

Can you show me how to do something?

Okay, uh, let's see.

Kareem says, can you show me where the railroad station is?

Can you show me where the railroad station is?

Ah, quick point.

If you're If the end this part.

If after this this, uh how can you show me How can you show me?

Where can you show me?

What at this point right here, where you have this like question inside your question, if this question uses the verb be so that means is waas were and so on.

You have to change the order.

So, for example, where is the station becomes where the station is?

So this is a little a little different point from what I want to focus on today.

This is called embedded questions.

Embedded questions.

If you want to know more uh, maybe I can talk about that more in another live stream.

Uh, okay, let's go on to the next one.

The next one is, Would you?

Would you?

So a lot of people ask What's the difference between will you?

And would you Here, so would you is just like a more polite version of will.

So will you buy me a coffee?

And would you buy me a coffee?

It just sounds a little bit more polite.

Your request becomes more polite.

Both are correct.

I would probably say to my friend, Will you buy me a coffee and maybe to someone I don't know very well.

Like, Would you please help me with this thing?

So would you.

Sounds a little more polite than will you.

So would you.

Plus the infinitive form of the verb again, for example.

Uh, would you please give this to our client?

Would you please give this to our client?

So you have, for example, like some paperwork And to pass it to your coworker, your coworker to your colleague, You say, Would you please give this to our client?

So wood is natural there because I'm a professional situation.

Yeah, So would you please give this to our client?

Uh, also, you'll notice I have included, please.

Here.

So, please, I've put this before the verb Please give this to our client.

You can put please before your verb to make it more polite to make to increase the level of politeness.

Thio do the request.

Uh, someone in the chat says, What about a cannon?

Could I just covered can So could you can also use.

Could you Could you please give this to our client?

Also, it's fine to use.

Could Sounds more a little more polite than can as well.

Keep in mind that when you use up could so can you.

I'll include here.

Could you?

Hey, again.

It refers to possibility.

It's like thing.

Is it possible to give this to the client?

So it's great.

It's correct to use.

You can use that to someone.

Says what about shall and shit?

Yes.

We're going to cover shall in part to today's lesson.

Uh, okay.

Um, what was I talking about?

Yes, including please here.

So to improve, to increase the politeness of your request using please.

So please is before the verb here would you give this to our client, please is also correct.

So you can change the position of please in the sentence.

It doesn't change the meaning.

So put it here before the verb or here at the end of the sentence.

We can do this same thing with these examples to Will you please buy me a coffee or we buy me a coffee, please?

Both are correct.

Or can you show me how to use this software?

You could say, Can you please show me how to use this software?

Or can you show me how to use this software?

Please?

All correct.

It's up to you.

You can choose the positioning.

Uh, okay, I don't see other questions, so let's go to the last point.

Just please, just please.

So I've included please here because it's a direct way to make a request.

We use this like with little kids.

It is polite, but it's like teaching kids how to be polite.

So please, plus the infinitive form of the verb.

So, for example, please take off your shoes before you enter.

So please take off.

Take off means remove.

Take off your shoes before you enter before you enter the room.

So this is a direct request.

Uh, using, please.

This one.

This is something you see, unlike signs.

So maybe in a hotel or in another service situation, like please do not smoke, for example.

Please take off your shoes.

So these are more direct.

They're polite and direct commands, please.

So these are a few basic patterns that you can use to make a request.

Some of you are already answering my comment to my comment question, which is to make a request, make a request.

S o.

I'm looking for some of those.

Ah ya Yai says, would you please teach me English?

Yes.

I'm already teaching you English is great.

Uh, some other ones.

Er Lions king on Facebook says Will does it show future tense?

Yeah, kind of.

Will you buy me a coffee?

It's like asking the other person to make a decision now.

So if I say to the control desk person Hey, will you buy me a coffee right now?

Probably will say no, because he's busy, so I'm asking about his future action there.

Yeah.

Will you buy me a coffee right now?

No, I'm busy.

So it's about?

It's about a future situation.

Yes.

Will you do this thing for me?

Also?

I mentioned at the beginning of this part.

We can change this.

You?

Yeah.

So, for example, you want someone else to do something.

Like, for example, with can like, Can he bring that file to the meeting?

You can ask about someone else.

So can he do this thing, or can she do that thing?

You can make a request to someone else, so maybe they're not in the meeting now.

But I tell my co worker and they give the message to somebody else.
