As I said, today's lesson is about using Will and Wood to talk about the future.

I'm going to cover future tense expressions today.

My other announcement is about the same as last week.

Our weekly question and answer Siri's called.

Ask Alicia where you can send me your questions, your grammar, your vocabulary related questions on, and I will maybe choose them to talk about in detail in some detail.

So this is a screen shot from a recent episode where I talked about the difference between especially and specifically.

One YouTube channel or on our website, of course.

And you can find the link to send me your questions from the link below the video on YouTube or just go to English Class one a one dot com slash ask hyphen Alicia.

I see lots of people are now in the chat.

So I am going to share the video myself, and then I'm going to get started today.

We're going to begin with a very, uh, basic introduction on, and that will be to make requests with will and would.

So I want to begin today by talking about making requests with will and would.

A lot of you have asked me this, actually, in the ask Alicia Siri's I mentioned before, I've received a lot of questions like, What's the difference between will and would in like request patterns when I want to ask someone for help?

The short answer grammatically there's not a difference like they both achieve the same thing, so we can use both will and wood to begin requests.

The difference is that would usually sounds more formal.

So if we look at an example like this like, will you please close the door?

That one sounds a little less formal than if I said, would you please close the door?

So we can begin our requests with Will Will.

In this case, I'm making a direct request.

So this is a request that's going directly to the listener.

So will you the listener please close the door?

You to someone else like, will he please come over here or will he please stop that?

But in those cases, I feel like I would perhaps use wood because I'm probably asking someone else to do something for me.

If that makes sense so we can begin, uh, requests with both will and with wood.

So here's an example of ah, would a written example of a wood request to request that begins with wood?

Would you give me a call or perhaps something like, Would you give me a call when you have time?

So this to me sounds a little bit more formal than will you give me a call so you can use You can choose, which is the best for your situation.

So maybe you have, like, a very kind of formal relationship with your co workers with the people at your office or the people at your school in those cases, if you want to sound more polite when you make your requests, I would suggest using would use would.

If you're a little bit closer to the people that you're with or if it's a very small request is not a big deal like this is a small request.

If it's a small request, it's easy to take care of.

I would probably choose to use will in those cases instead of wood.

So yeah, bigger requests or more polite situations I choose would smaller requests people I'm closer to.

I probably use will I will and feel free to send your questions in the chat.

I will try to check them life I have not seen any yet.

Okay, I also want to mention then this other other patterns I have your other.

I have this, uh, would it be possible to infinitive verb pattern?

I wanted to introduce this pattern because it's an indirect request pattern that sounds more polite.

And it also I feel like, uh, just sounds more professional like your You really are considering the other person's time A little bit.

So, for example, I might say something like, would it be possible Thio arrange a meeting for next week?

That to me it sounds much more professional than like, Would you please arrange a meeting for next week?

If you use this, would it be possible to Would it be possible to?

So this is a formal way of saying Is there a possibility too?

But you're you're still creating a request.

So this is one I like to use in, like, more formal or like, professional e mails.

So would it be possible to plus infinitive verb?

So my example sentence was would it be possible to arrange a meeting?

Would it be possible to arrange a meeting?

Or would it be possible to set up a meeting so you can use a phrase a ll verb here as well?
