Hi, everybody.
-
I'm Esther and in this video I'm going to teach you how to ask someone for permission
-
Okay so before I teach you that,
-
let's first talk about what permission means.
-
Okay so...
-
When you want to ask someone if it's okay to do something, you're asking for permission.
-
Okay again, you want to do something, you don't know if it's okay, so you ask someone.
-
For example, maybe you want to borrow something.
-
Then you should ask someone.
-
If you just take it that's stealing, right?
-
So you have to ask.
-
Is it okay? Alright?
-
So there are three ways to ask for permission in English.
-
The first way is to say, "Can I...?" "Can I...?" Okay.
-
The second way is "Could I...?" "Could I...?"
-
And the third way is, "May I...?" "May I...?" Okay.
-
So 'can I', 'could I', and 'may I' are all good
-
ways to ask for permission.
-
But the third one, 'may I', is more polite. Okay.
-
So if you want to ask somebody who has more power,
-
maybe your parents, may be your teacher,
-
then you should say 'may I'.
-
Maybe even to somebody that you don't know very well,
-
it's better to say may I because again it's more polite.
-
So let's look at these examples.
-
Okay so I've written 'can I', 'could I', and 'may I'
-
on the board.
-
Remember, after these three, you have to say a verb.
-
Okay so let's look at the verbs.
-
'help' 'see' 'have' 'call' 'borrow' 'go' 'speak' and 'go' again.
-
Okay so I know I went through that a little bit quickly but
-
we're going to go through it slowly now.
-
Okay so here's what we'll do.
-
I'm going to read and try to switch some around. Okay?
-
So... "Can I help you?"
-
"Can I help you?"
-
Let's try that a little bit faster.
-
"Can I help you?"
-
"Can I help you?"
-
Now remember, you can also say 'could I' and 'may I'.
-
For example, if you're walking through a department store,
-
and the salesperson comes to you,
-
they would probably say, "May I help you?" because they want to be polite to the customer.
-
So again, "May I help you?"
-
Okay.
-
"Can I see you again?"
-
"Can I see you again?"
-
A little bit faster.
-
"Can I see you again?"
-
Maybe you like someone you met them and you like them
-
and you want to see them again next time,
-
So you say, "Can I see you again?"
-
Okay.
-
"Can I have some water?"
-
"Can I have some water?"
-
A little bit faster.
-
"Can I have some water?"
-
Okay.
-
Let's try a couple with 'could'.
-
"Could I call you later?"
-
"Could I call you later?"
-
Again, remember, you can use all three, but we're doing 'could'.
-
"Could I call you later?"
-
"Could I borrow some money?"
-
Okay. You usually borrow money from a friend or somebody that you know,
-
so that's why it's better to say maybe 'can I' or 'could I'.
-
"Could I borrow some money?"
-
Okay.
-
"Could I go?"
-
"Could I go?"
-
You want to leave, so you're asking if it's okay.
-
"Could I go?"
-
Okay and remember 'may I' is polite okay
-
you want to say that to someone who's a little bit more important,
-
maybe someone you don't know.
-
Again you would use 'may I'.
-
So "May I speak to mr. Kim?"
-
Maybe you called his office, okay, so you say,
-
"May I speak to mr. Kim?"
-
And the last one -
-
"May I go to the bathroom?"
-
This one is maybe if you're asking a teacher.
-
Right? You're in class and you have to go, you can ask a teacher
-
"May I go to the bathroom?"
-
Again, 'can I' 'could' 'can' and 'could' are both okay.
-
But maybe it's more polite....
-
If you want to be polite, you should say,
-
"May I go to the bathroom?"
-
And I'm sure the teacher will like that better because you're being polite.
-
Okay. So...
-
In this video we learned three ways to ask for permission.
-
Let's go through them one more time.
-
can I
-
could I and may I
-
Okay well I hope I helped and I'll see you guys next time.
-
Bye.
-
Hi, everybody, I'm Esther.
-
And in this video we're gonna talk about some important English expression.
-
Let’s first start with 'like and like to'
-
I like
-
and I like to'
-
First, let's look at the board for some examples.
-
With 'I like', we have to put a person, place or thing, right?
-
So let's look.
-
'I like cookies.' Right, food is a thing.
-
So I could say, 'I like cookies'.
-
'I like pizza.'
-
Okay.
-
The next one.
-
'I like English'
-
English is a subject in school,
-
so that's another thing,
-
so I can also say, 'I like math',
-
Right?
-
The next one is, 'I like you.'
-
You is a person.
-
I can say, 'I like him.'
-
'I like Sally.'
-
Right?
-
I can say a person.
-
And, 'I like dogs.'
-
That's another thing.
-
I like dogs or for me, personally, I like cats as well.
-
Okay, so let's first try these examples a little bit faster.
-
Now please try to follow with me.
-
'I like cookies.'
-
'I like cookies.'
-
'I like English.'
-
'I like English.'
-
'I like you.'
-
'I like you.'
-
And, 'I like dogs.'
-
'I like dogs.'
-
Okay.
-
The second example is,
-
I like to
-
Now, we put a 'to' here.
-
That means after, I have to put an activity.
-
Right? An activity.
-
For example, 'I like to dance.'
-
'I like to dance.'
-
But what I want you listen for is that 'to' becomes just like a 'tuh!'
-
Now, It's ok to say, 'I like to dance.'
-
'I like to dance'.
-
That's okay but most native English speakers,
-
will kind of get rid of the 'o' and say,
-
'I like to dance.'
-
'I like to dance.'
-
Here is the next one,
-
'I like to sing.'
-
'I like to sing.'
-
'I like to study.'
-
'I like to shop.'
-
Okay.
-
So, these are all personally things that I like to do.
-
Actually, I love to them.
-
But 'like to' and 'like' is a little more common.
-
Okay.
-
So let's practice these four examples one more time.
-
A little more quickly.
-
And please try to follow me.
-
I like to dance.
-
I like to dance.
-
I like to sing.
-
I like to sing.
-
I like to study.
-
I like to study.
-
I like to shop.
-
I like to shop.
-
Okay, let's look at some more examples together.
-
I like school.
-
I like dresses.
-
I like pizza.
-
I like money.
-
I like vacations.
-
I like food.
-
I like to eat.
-
I like to exercise.
-
I like to walk.
-
I like to drink coffee.
-
I like to meet friends.
-
I like to travel.
-
Okay, so now we're going to move on to the expression,
-
'I don’t like'
-
and 'I don’t like to.'
-
Okay.
-
So, if you look at the board,
-
I've changed 'I like' to 'I don’t like'.
-
Now, it’s the same.
-
At the end, I have to say a person, a place or thing.
-
Okay.
-
So, let’s look at them together.
-
I don’t like sushi.
-
Let’s try it a little bit faster.
-
I don’t like sushi.
-
I don’t like sushi.
-
Okay.
-
The next one is,
-
I don’t like math.
-
Right.
-
We can say 'I hate' but 'I don’t like' is more common.
-
I don’t like math.
-
Again a little faster.
-
I don’t like math.
-
I don’t like math.
-
The next one is,
-
I don’t like him.
-
I don’t like him.
-
I don’t like him.
-
And the last one,
-
I don’t like snakes.
-
Right, a lot of women don’t like snakes.
-
I don’t like snakes.
-
I don’t like snakes.
-
Okay.
-
The second example is,
-
'I don’t like to'
-
'I don’t like to'
-
Remember, at the end of this, we have to put an action,
-
something that we do, right.
-
So, we can say,
-
I don’t like to run.
-
I don’t like to run.
-
Remember, again the ‘to’.
-
You can say, ‘I don’t like to’
-
or ‘I don’t like to’.
-
I don’t like to run.
-
Let's try the next one.
-
I don’t like to study.
-
I don’t like to study.
-
Okay.
-
After that,
-
I don’t like to drink.
-
A little faster.
-
I don’t like to drink.
-
I don’t like to drink.
-
And the last one is,
-
I don’t like to fight.
-
Right.
-
It can get a little bit scary, right.
-
I don’t like to fight.
-
I don’t like to fight.
-
Let's look at some more examples together.
-
Ok, let’s look at some examples.

-
I don’t like to clean up.
-
