Shitou,could you please clean the living room?
Sorry,I can't.
Could you please do the dishes?

Cindy,could you please sweep the floor?

我要总结：
Could you please sweep the floor?
你能打扫一下地吗？
Could you please后加动词原形，表示委婉的请求。
肯定回答常用Sure/Certainly/Of course
否定回答常用Sorry,I can't.
一般不用NO开头，用NO显得态度生硬，不礼貌
注：could是情态动词can的过去式，但在本句中Could you do……？不表示过去，用以表示礼貌，委婉或不确定的语气。
