  1. Hey Rocio, how are you doing this afternoon? You did a lot of publishing over the weekend!

    I liked your requests, they were quite unusual!

    Pay close attention to the difference between tell & ask.

    Ask is for when we want to ask a question or we want them to do something.

    Tell is for when we want to pass along information (and the lesser used tell with imperative orders e.g. Can you tell him to shut up? For orders like that it is very informal).

    Here is how I would change a couple of things with your sentences in case you wanted my point of view. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

    Could you ask Carlos if he likes to receive flowers AS A gift?

    Rosa is very friendly could you ASK her if she can give me her car?

    I am Robert's father, my son has failed all tests, could you tell HIS teacher that I WILL pay $1000 pesos if He passes him with a 10 on the last tests?

    Katie could you ask Tania if she would be the girlfriend of the ex-boyfriend of her sister?

    Polo could you ask paco if he likes the toads? (no changes)
