Asking For And Giving Permission
Asking for and giving permission:
When you ask
for permission to use something that belongs to someone else you have to do
your best to be polite. It is desirable to use the word "please."
Asking for Permission:
· Can I go out,
please?
· May I open the
window, please?
·
Please, can
I have a look at your photo album?
· Please, may
I taste that hot spicy couscous dish?
· Do you mind if I smoke?
· Would you mind if I asked you something?
·
Is it okay if I sit here?
· Would it be all right if I borrowed your mobile Phone?
Giving Permission:
· Yes, please
do.
·
Sure, go
ahead.
·
Sure.
·
No problem.
· Please feel
free.
Refusing to give permission:
·
No, please
don’t.
·
I’m sorry,
but that’s not possible.
·
I'm afraid,
but you can't.
