   D   LANGUAGE FOCUS: Request

If the name of pupil is used as well, the order of the name and ‘please’ can vary. ‘Please’ before the verb, however, may sound more formal:

‘Please’ before verb	‘Please’ after verb
Tom, please come here Please, Tom, come here Please come here, Tom	Tom, come here please Come here, please, Tom Come here, Tom, please

Notice that when several pupils put their hands up to answer and the teacher wants to select a particular pupil, he can do so using ‘please’.

            Number 7. Yes, Karen, please.

            Right, the next one. Err, Mohammed, please

1.   Want and like used in questions can be used to express requests:

            Would you like to write that on the board?

            Do you want to try the next one?

            Would anybody like to be the narrator?

2.   One of the most commonest forms of request in English involves the use of a modal auxiliary, can, could, will and would. Of these ‘would’ and ‘could’ are the politest.

            Could you share with Anne today

            Would you prepare chapter 24

            Will you write this out neatly at home

            Can you say that again

3.   The word ‘please’ is very frequently used in request form:

            Could you please try question 5 at home

            Would you come out to the front, please

            Can you write that on that on the board, please

4.   An extremely common variation involving the modal auxiliaries makes use of a tag-like ending:

            Clean the board, would you

            Try it again, will you

            Do number 6, could you

            Open the window, can you

5.   The following polite forms are also common. Notice the various forms of complementation:

            Do you think you could write this out at home?

            I wonder if you could say it in your own words

            Would you mind sharing today?

            Do you mind repeating what you said?
