ASKING AND GIVING PERMISSION BY ANJAR FATIMAH
• Asking and Giving Permission. It is wise for us to ask permission when we want to start to use something that belongs to someone else or we want to do something, for example if we want to leave the classroom while the studying happens, we need to ask the teacher’s permission. • Don’t forget to use the word “Please” in asking permission to do something to make it is more polite. The word “please” can be put in different places in the sentence, it can be at the start, at the end or before the verb.

Below are the expression of asking permission, giving permission and refusing permission. Asking for Permission: May I. . ? Do you mind if I. . . . ? Would it be alright if I. . ? Would it be okay if I. . ? Is it okay if I. . ? Can I. . ? Examples: May I go to the office, please? Do you mind if I go to the bath room, please? Would you mind if I sit here, please?
