Select ALL the grammatically correct ways the opportunistic employee can ask to use the chair.
Hey Sarah, since you're going to the Bahamas next week, ______ your fancy ergonomic chair while you're gone?
The correct answers are would you mind if I borrowed and could I please borrow.
When asking for permission as a polite request:
- Would you mind if I is traditionally followed by the past simple tense (borrowed), acting as a hypothetical conditional.
- Could I is followed by the base form of the verb (borrow).
- "Would you mind to let me" is incorrect because "mind" must be followed by a gerund or an "if" clause.
