Second will talk about how to make offers, and third, I'll introduce some other some other patterns that relate to both of these.

So let's get started with the 1st 1 The first part for today is making requests, making requests.

So a request to review a request is when you want something from someone, so you want an object from someone, or you want someone to do something for you.

So that means when you need help when you need information.

And so on these air, the patterns you can use to make simple request simple requests.

So this is interesting because we can use all of these in the same way we can follow all of these with an infinitive verb.

Will you for this lesson, I'm going to focus on this, you pattern.

So that means I'm asking you the listener directly.

You can change this, You two, uh, he or she can hear, can she?

I'll talk about that a little more later.

For now, let's begin with this pattern, Will you?

So the infinitive form of a verb means the basic form of the verb.

When you look at the verb in the dictionary.

Will you plus infinitive for So for example, will you help me, please?

So the verb following the verb after this will you is in the infinitive for no change to this verb here.

The second pattern is Can you Can you sew in today's English we use.

Can you and will you four requests in the same way they have the same goal.

If you want to be really, really specific, we can refers to possibility.

So if you want to be really slick, strict and specific like this would mean is it possible for you to do something?

But we use this in today's English too mean Do this thing for me, Or will you do this thing?

So in today's English, these two have the same purpose and the same meeting will you?

Can you plus the infinitive form of a verb?

Can you show me how to use this software?

Can you show me how to use this software so again?

Right here is followed by so after can you is show show the verb show.

So can you show me how to use this software?

So this can you show me pattern is a really good pattern to use When you want someone to teach you something Can you show me how to blah, blah, blah?

This smart car, Can you show me how to something?

Sometimes I hear Lerner say, can you please teach me to do this thing if there's no communication problem there but at least for North American English speakers, we use the verb show.

Kareem says, can you show me where the railroad station is?
