REQUESTING SOMETHING

Requesting Something is what we say when we want to ask someone to do something for us.
Requesting
Would you mind …, please?
Can/Could you …?
Will/Would you …?
Please …

Accepting Requests
Sure, I’d be glad/happy to …
Of course/Certainly.
No problem.
 Sure. Just a moment.

Refusing Requests
I’d loved to, but …
It sounds great, but …
I’m/sorry, but …
Sorry to say that …

Biasanya, "would" atau "could" digunakan saat formal. Seperti pada contoh 
berikut:
Could you open the window for me, please? Sure.

p.s Would you mind is followed by the verb and -ing.
