| I have a question!! How much do you want to do it? I think this sentence is ambiguous because it can have two different meanings. Don't you think so? Could you give me a help? |

| What are the two meaning to you? It sounds like a question about motivation to me. |

| For money, I'd say 'How much do you want to do it for?' However, in spoken English I could see the question being used for money because in speech you could have a mini pause between the two halves that would make the meaning clearer. PS, I'm fine, though I am now in Cambodia so we have the rainy season not fall. Take care. |
