And sometimes we can\u2019t do it alone. But cooperating with someone to solve a problem means explaining it clearly. <\/p>\n<p>Before you explain the problem however, you\u2019ll need to ask for help. Two really useful words in this situation are \u201cwould\u201d and \u201ccould.\u201d These words help you make polite requests. For example, you might say \u201ccould you help me?\u201d or \u201cwould you help me with this?\u201d And we can add to these expressions to get longer, even more polite expressions.<\/p>\n<p>925 English is a new series of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">English video<\/a> lessons for beginners (CEFR level A2).
