okey i felt this was quite common by rite. Anyway I think a lot of people might wrongly used the greetings... especially good evening and good night. :-D


We say "good morning" at any time in the morning from when we wake up until about lunchtime.

We'd say "good afternoon" at any time in the afternoon after lunch, until about 6pm.
After that we'd use "good evening".

We use "good night" when we are saying good bye to a person who we won't see again until the morning.

So you either use it to someone before you go to bed, or you say it to someone you are leaving in the evening.

Okey. here is the english lesson i read at the website. Quite interesting website and below is the lesson for making requests from the website. Simple and easy to understand.


Asking someone to do something for you

"Could you open the door for me, please?"
"Would you mind opening the door for me, please?"
"Can you open the door for me, please?'

Speaking tip: could and can are followed by the verb without to. Would you mind is followed by the verb and -ing.


Asking if you can do something

"Can I use your computer, please?"
"Could I borrow some money from you, please?"
"Do you mind if I turn up the heating?"
"Would you mind if I turned up the heating?"

Speaking tip: Could is more polite that can.

Do you mind if…" is followed by the verb in the present tense, but would you mind if… is followed by the verb in the past tense.

When you're using these two sentences, don't use please. It's already polite enough!
