Offers and Orders: Would You Like and I'll Have

Offers and Orders: Would You Like and I'll Have

When offering food, drinks, or assistance in English, we use the polite phrase would you like rather than the general question do you like. For example, "Would you like a cup of tea?" offers a drink in the present moment, whereas "Do you like tea?" asks about a general preference. When responding to an offer or placing an order, native speakers use the future simple tense to declare their immediate choice: "I'll have the blueberry muffin, please."

This challenge covers polite interactions across a variety of practical and amusing scenarios. You'll help hungry customers place orders at a sushi restaurant, navigate a busy café morning rush, and even offer dessert to a table of vampires! The exercises focus on distinguishing would you like from do you like, using infinitives correctly after offers (would you like to...), and selecting I'll have over incorrect present tense forms like "I have" or "I take."

You'll work through 15 questions featuring a mix of single-choice, multi-choice, drop-down, and drag-and-drop formats.
