Think of a suitable negative response to the requests and requests for permission (1-8). Example: Id like to borrow your mini-disc player if its not too much trouble. Oh, I’m sorry. Ill be using it this weekend. 1. I need some fresh air. Is it OK if I open the window? 2. Oh, Ive just remembered. I need to call Jan. I dont suppose it would be possible to use your mobile for a few minutes? 3. Youre going out, are you? Do you think you could post these letters for me? 4. Will you take these chairs and move them into the other room? 5. Can you give me a hand getting the food ready tomorrow night? Ive got a lot of people coming for dinner. 6. Do you mind if we eat out tonight? I dont feel like cooking. 7. You couldnt help me with this DVD player, could you? I dont understand the instructions. 8. Can I have some more apple juice? Im still thirsty.
