Permission, a request, and an accepted invitation
A partner prepares three original micro-dialogues for a learner. The first says “Czy mogę usiąść tutaj?” followed by “Tak, proszę”. The second says “Proszę zapisać numer na kartce”. The third contains an invitation and the answer “Dziękuję, chętnie przyjdę”. The learner labels all three as commands because each contains familiar polite wording. The tutor asks for the function of each exchange and reminds the learner that proszę can have different roles in context. All material remains written and may be read by a partner with the script hidden from the learner. The exercise does not supply a voice recording or establish rules for official examination playback.
1. What functions do the three examples have?

The first asks permission to sit and receives permission. The second requests that a number be written down. The third accepts an invitation willingly. Polite wording alone does not make all three the same speech act.
2. What review should follow a mistaken answer?

Identify the whole phrase carrying the function, such as czy mogę or chętnie przyjdę, rather than matching one isolated word. Compare with the script, request an appropriate natural model, and repeat as clearly labelled partner-read practice.
