Select ALL the grammatically correct ways the barista can ask the overly enthusiastic customer to stop.
Excuse me, sir! ______ on the espresso machine glass? It startles the baristas.
The correct answers are Would you mind not tapping and Could you please not tap.
To make a negative polite request, place "not" directly before the main verb.
- Would you mind + not + verb-ing (not tapping)
- Could you (please) + not + base verb (not tap)
