                    ‘’would like’’
                    • We use ‘’would like’’ to say politely what we want, especially when making offers and requests.

                      Positive                Negative               Question
                         I                       I                                        I
                       You                    You                                      you

                      She   would like some juice.  She  wouldn’t like any juice.   Would   she like some juice?
                        It                      It                                      it
                       We                     We                                       we
                      They                    They                                    they


                    ‘’will /won’t’’’
                    •  We use ‘’will /won’t’’ to talk about snap decisions, future predictions or promises. We will focus on
                    snap decisions in this unit.

                      Positive               Negative                Question
                         I                      I                                   I
                      You                    You                                  you
                       He                     He                                  he
                      She       will have some juice.  She  won’t have any juice.   Will   she have some juice?
                        It                     It                                  it
                      We                     We                                  we
                      They                   They                               they



                    ATTENTION 1
                    We can use ‘’want’’ instead of ‘’would like’’. However, ‘’would like’’ is more formal and politer.


                    Examples
                    -  Do you want to attend my birthday party?
                    -  Would you like to attend my birthday party?
                    •  We use some common expressions to accept or refuse an offer / invitation.


                 Accepting                                       Refusing
                 That’s a great idea.                            That’s not a good idea.
                 Yes, please.                                    No, thanks.
                 Just a few, please.                             No, I’m full.
                 I’d love to. Thanks.                            I’d love to, but I can’t.
                 That sounds great.                              I’m sorry, but I can’t.
                 Thanks for inviting me.                         Thanks for inviting me, but I’m really busy.




                  ATTENTION 2!                                    Examples
                  We can use ‘’Why don’t ….? / How-What           --  Why don’t you buy a CD for her?
                  about ….?’’ question forms to ask for
                  suggestions.                                    -  Why don’t we join Mike’s birthday party?
