Asking for Willingness in Advance






              If you want to determine whether the person you want to ask
              for help has an objection or not, you can ask using a making
              request expression like:


             • Do you                          • Do you mind                           • Would you


                  mind….?                           if….?                                   mind….?





                               Note: If the ending is “mind”, continue with the gerund (verb+ing).
                               Example: “Do you mind printing the paper?”


                               If the ending is "if", continue with the complete sentence, aka
                               subject + verb, yes.



                               Example: “Do you mind if I ask you to check my writing?” You can
                               also add "Excuse me" at the beginning of the sentence.
