    We are also going to study the use of asking permissions with may, can, could, would/do
    you mind if…?

    We use may, could, or can to ask permission to do something.

    For example:

    Bob: Can I use your phone?

    Marcus: Of course.

    Bob: May I use your phone?

    Marcus: Certainly.

    If we want to use a more formal way, we use do you mind if + a verb in Present tense.
    Also, we can say would you mind if + the Past tense of a verb.

    For example:

    Bob: Do you mind if I use your phone?

    Marcus: No, go ahead.

    Bob: Would you mind if I used your phone?

    Marcus No, not at all.

    Now test yourself!


    Use the correct expression for the following sentences:

    Do you mind if I use / using your tablet for 5 minutes?

    Would you mind if I borrow / borrowed your note of the class?

    May I use /used your laptop to check my email?

    Do / Can I use your book for a moment?

    Here are the answers for the previous exercise:

    Do you mind if I use your tablet for 5 minutes? Use

    Would you mind if I borrowed your note of the class? Borrowed

    May I use your laptop to check my email? Use

    Can I use your book for a moment? Can

    End of the lesson.

    Also, focus on the example texts from the video to practice the pronunciation of words.

    Don’t forget to keep practicing on MyELT and studying the contents of the lesson.
