| Yes. They sound odd. It's the "you. . . if you . . . me" part that's awkward. Either omit "you", like this, Would you mind typing a letter for me? Would you mind lending me your pen? or replace "you" with another pronoun, like this, Would you mind if I typed a letter for you? Would you mind if I lent you my pen? "you" works if you change the verb to a modal, like this, Would you mind if you couldn't do it? Would you mind if you had to do it? |
