Explanation of the English phrase "I'd like to (do something) please.": Saying "I'd like to ___ please" is a good way to politely ask for a service from someone who you don't know personally, like a bank teller. Another example at a post office: Hi, I'd like to send this by express mail please.

I'd like; I'd like , please; I'd like a bandage; I'd like a catalog; I'd like a catalogue; I'd like a child seat for a two-year-old child; I'd like a color photocopy of this, please; I'd like a colour photocopy of this, please; I'd like a dorm bed; I'd like a fresh bandage; I'd like a newspaper; I'd like a no smoking room; I'd like .

Use please since it's a request - the 2nd sounds like you are asking them to consider it rather than having someone else do so. – mgb Jun 11 '12 at @mgb- I .

Mar 02,  · "I like you" is a basic declarative sentence. It could be stated simply as part of a conversation, written in an email, noted in passing. It has no modifiers, and is about as simple a sentence as you can have. Adding the "do" changes the meaning, adding emphasis to the verb "like.".
