	Kenta  #532310  Wed, 25 Jun 08 01:39 PM I'm very sorry, but I don't agree to your comments. Q Why should I write "Can you ..."? I think "Will you correct ... " is fine. Q Is "Its were ..." right? I've never seen the expression, "Its were". I hope other members will help me.  Thank you.     Kenta

	New2grammar  #532314  Wed, 25 Jun 08 01:44 PM Kenta, in my opinion, it's more polite to say "Could you ...?" Its less demanding. Your version is also correct. It basically says, are you willing to corect...? but note that it's less graceful. Just my thought.    New2grammar Joined on Tue, Nov 21 2006 Veteran Member (7,670) Who wants to go sailing around the world with me?

	Anonymous  #532327  Wed, 25 Jun 08 02:06 PM The third sentence is unclear. 'Why don't you try the magazine stand over there?' How can a person TRY A MAGAZINE STAND? Instead: 'How about the magazines on that stand, they are similar to Daily Yomiuri'    Anonymous
