Second Conditional - Part 5: Polite Requests

How to use the SECOND CONDITIONAL to make POLITE REQUESTS using the structures:
1) I/It would be + adjective + if you could + infinitive
2) I/It would be + adjective + if you + past simple
3) I would + verb + if you could + infinitive
4) I would + verb + if you + past simple

Your instructions are a clear delight. Sadly, it seems most don't care about these things.

Hi there.
The teacher is great.
The term is hard for students.

I was looking this great material for study many time.

[ФирдавсФайзиев-уы]

I would love it if you could make a video on Mixed Grammar.

[Krucezam]

Hi, Emma. How are you. I'm glad you carried about what I felt hard to learn.
Thanks to your excellent explanation, now I fully understand. These are my examples.
1. It would be great if you picked me up where I work.
2. I' d love it if you could leave my clothes at dry cleaner's on your way to work.
3. It would be really nice if you could come to my birthday party.
4. I'd appreciate it if you pick some bread for me on your way home.

And, I have two questions.
First, can I use the preposition "at" instead of "from" before "the station " like "if you picked me up at the station "?
The other is, which verb tense should I use, past simple or infinitive, when a sentence contains a certain word such as "tomorrow" or " this Sunday "?
It would be nice if you could come along (come along?) with me this Sunday.
I'd love it if you dropped by(drop by?) here during your vacation next month.

Sorry for asking you many things.
I always thank you for your sincere teaching. 💗 🙇🙇‍♂️💗

Is there a difference between the two if-constructions? Is :if+could+inf somewhat more polite than if+ simple past?

[ccuxewr]

Yes by all means, what time and what station thou?

Hello Emma ma'am🙏🙏, I have got a query. I think it would be far greater if you said "could+bare infinitive". Because I know "infinitive" means "To+v1". After modal verb, we should use "v1" form. So I assume like that.😊😊 what do you think regarding that? Let me know your valuable opinion.👌👌🌻🌻

Hello Ma'am,
1. I had been thinking of getting you to repaired my phone for a long time.
2. She had been thinking of you since last monday.
are there any mistakes in these sentences?

[HiteshKumar-nxwc]

I wish I could make you drink hot cuppachino coffee prepared by me and make you eat "Shahi paneer" prepared by me. Madam sometimes I feel extremely grateful to you.!! 🙏

I would appreciate it if you were to work later tonight

it would be great were you to take care of the children later.

Your examples are POOR GRAMMAR. The past subjunctive in English requires the modal construction with WERE TO. No wonder we (the English speaking world) cannot understand how to use other languages' subjunctives when there are people like you doing stuff like this
