Help the desperate roommate craft a polite but firm text message. Select ALL the grammatically correct options to fill in the blank.
Hey, ______ out that mysterious science experiment growing in the back of the fridge?
The correct answers are could you throw and would you mind throwing.
When making polite requests, we use could you followed by the base form of the verb (throw).
If we use would you mind, it must be followed by a gerund / verb + -ing (throwing). "Would you mind to throw" is grammatically incorrect.
