t:you did a very good job.today,we’ll go on to study indirect and direct speech.but firstly,we should learn to tell requests from commands.in english,giving commands is less polite than making a request.so most of time,commands are made by those people who are bosses,teachers,leaders,officers,or some other one who has authority.now would you please tell which of them are commands?
(show them a slide)
1.close the door!
2.would you please help me carry the case?
3.get me something to drink.
4.could you lend me 100 yuan?
5.please turn off the lights.
6.don’t smoke here.
7.will you clean the blackboard?
8.clean the table please.
s:1,3,6 are commands,and others are requests.
t:that’s right.so we can draw a conclusion:
sentence pattern for commands:do.../do not do...
sentence pattern for requests:do...please./can you do...?/could you do...?/will you do...?/would you do...?
