Please help us solve a family challange and disagreement. My sister insists on telling my neice and granddaughter ages 4 that they must say " may you get me a drink of water or May you push me on the swing instead of more commly heard phrases like Auntie, could you plese push me on the swing or May I please have a drink of water. She uses sayings like May asks and can or will signifies soemthing else. like ability.. Could you please clarify this for our family as we argue alot about this when together. May you swing me sound strange tomost of us.
