Indirect

Would you mind if I closed the window. It’s rather cold in here. Sure, go ahead. I am quite cold too.

Do you think I could borrow your umbrella? Sure, but don’t lose it.

Do you mind if I make a quick phone call? I would rather you didn’t. I am waiting for a call.

Is it OK if Lizzie stays the night on Saturday? Sorry, I am afraid there won’t be any room.

Do you mind if I turn on the TV? Not at all. Is there anything good on ?

Can I have a drink? Of course. Help yourself.
