You have to print  the following text for next class. This is the grammar topic and the exercises.



CAN, COULD, MAY AND WOULD: requests, permission, offers and invitations

We often use can or would when we ask someone to do something:

-Can you wait a moment, please?
-Ann, can you do me a favour?
-Excuse me. Could you tell me how to get to the station?


To ask for something  you can say  Can I have…?/ Could I have…?May I have…?

-May I come in? Yes, please do.


To give permission, we use CAN or MAY (but not COULD)

Use CAN/CANT to talk about what is already allowed or not allowed:

- If  you are under 17, you cant drive a car in Britian.

c)      We sometimes use CAN when we offer to do things:

-Can I get you a cup of coffee?  That is very nice of you  
-(in a shop) Can I help you, madam?. No thanks.


d)     For offering and inviting we use WOULD YOU LIKE…?(not do you like)
