Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Asking"

A: Not really but maybe depending on a situation.

A: It means what have you been doing since I last saw you. But in America people will say "How are you" and not expect a response. It's more of a greeting in America. When someone says "How are you", the other person will almost always reply with "Good". Usually they are not actually asking how you have been and do not want an actual answer

A: It means to ask something ahead of time. Earlier than would be necessary.
Example:
I know your plans fill up quite quickly and that's why I'm asking you early- Can we go and watch a movie on the 29th?
It's better to ask too early, than to ask too late.

A: The 'asking' is the asking price, or what the people who are selling the house are asking for it. The asking price in this situation is $1.1 million. So person B is saying, "To tell us that they would accept 50% of $1.1 million?"

A: asap means as soon as possible (a-as/s-soon/a-as/p-possible)

A: Would you mind me asking about your opinions on different kinds of coffee?
Sorry but would you mind me asking what school you go to?
Hello would you mind me asking what your favorite movie is?
Would you mind me asking where you are from?

A: Generally, we use "I were" in conditional sentences to talk about things that aren't true and cannot be true, and their result. For example, I might say "if I were you, I wouldn't forgive him yet" to talk about what I would hypothetically do — I'm not actually you and I can't actually be you, obviously, but in a hypothetical situation, this is what I would do. Sometimes people will use "I was" in this situation, but it's most natural to say "I were".

If it's a normal sentence that isn't hypothetical, then you're always going to use "I was", so for example "I was at home", "I was going to ask for help", "I was told to wait here", etc.

In a conditional sentence about something that has already happened or been done (or something that is actually possible), you would use "I was", for example, "I'll find out if I was selected on Monday". This sentence is talking about a real event that isn't being imagined and could actually happen, so "if I were" is incorrect here.

A: Both are correct, but the second one sounds more natural to me.

A: Even though "if you don't mind me asking" is indeed incorrect, that's the only one I ever hear! Rarely do you hear "if you don't mind my asking"!

A: do you want to say "what iphone model do you have?" or just " what iphone are you using"

A: What did you come here to do?

A: I am in the supermarket right now, is there anything you’d want?

A: Excessive

A: What happened to you?
How did you get hurt?

A: "They are all asking."
They all are asking isn't necessarily wrong, but it doesn't really flow.

A: “If you don’t mind me asking, what is your nationality?”
Or
“If you don’t mind, may I ask what your nationality is?”


Tip:
Use “me” to refer to yourself.
Use “my” when referring to something that is yours.

A: I’m England you would usually say “ I can’t ask your question” not “I can’t answer your asking” but this is what it would sound like:

A: she turned down my invitation at first but in the end she accepted

A:

It doesn't sound like you are asking another person to do it. It sounds like you are asking if you(Yuuuuki) can do it.

It's like asking, "Do you think I will be able to copy this out?"

If you want someone else to copy this out you can use the sentence, "Can you copy this out for me please?"

A better way to ask someone else to copy this out is to use this sentence, "Will you please copy this out for me?"
