WORKSHEET 8 –RUNNING ERRANDS

1- REQUESTING OTHERS TO DO SOMETHING (Birisinden bir şeyler yapmasını rica etmek)

Başkalarından bir şeyler isterken bazı ifadeler

kullanırız. Ricada bulunmak için soru sorarken;

WILL WOULD CAN COULD

yapıları kullanılır.

Her ikisi de bir şey yapılmasını rica ederken kullanılan

yapılardır. Ancak “would” “will’’e göre ricanın daha kibar ve resmi şeklidir.

Jessica: Oh, my God. Tomorrow is Sheila’s birthday. We

need a birthday cake. Will you buy a cake? Mark: Yes, of course. Jessica: Thanks a lot.

Excuse me! Would you close the window, please? I am sorry I can’t. It is very hot now.

A: Would you mind helping me with this homework?

B: I am afraid I can’t. It is your job.

CAN-COULD Bu iki ifademizi de ricada buluınurken

kullanabiliriz. “Could” can ifadesine göre daha kibar

ve daha resmi bir ifade şeklidir.

A: Could you give me a hand for the bags, please?
