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.
